Lisbon Calling - The Vicious Five

For the first time in my travels, I arrived in Lisbon without research, a history lesson or thorough map reading. Ive developed this homesick habit of comparing current European cities with visited American towns. And if I can’t find a satisfactory simile then I matter of fairly declare it an area I could envision my future. So I’m wondering lost somewhere near the coast in baixa in search for my hostel. Pieces of this funky arts and crafts capital is reminding me of San Francisco California. The steep hills, chic typography and DIY boutiques with vintage typewriters and black and white photography. The wind won’t let up and I can see the far off geography turns deep forest green where I know Sintra, the organic Vegan villa lies. All this place needs is a good port. Sure enough, the taxi who has offered to cure my uncoordinated state of mind  turns sharply into a pair of white trousered sailors with a spitting image of the Golden Gate Bridge in the near background. Old world trolleys cradle tourists in their creaky yellow hauls. 

My general plan is to swim in R & R with maybe a glass of wine and fado (the folk music of Portugal) and beach excursions to Cascais. Reviews listed below.

Review: Lisbon Calling [please refer to Urban Chic] Craftsman style large tailored bunk beds puzzled neatly into an eclectic Portuguese flat. Folk, fado and reggae flyers pile beside a fedora hat and mason jars at the front reception. I wish my hand luggage was covered with worn train pass stamps. Leather arm chairs, crawl foot bathtub recycled into a coffee table, and pastel paint perks this lofty apartment into a fantasy realm. The Chinese girl is whimsical and spacey as she bounces through the initial tour of the small hostel, childlike and with a soft tone in her voice. Exceptionally clean, comfortable, and quiet. This smaller hostel doesn’t cater to the masses, so be sure to reserve in advance. Breakfast is bread, bread and cheese. Gluten intolerant? Stick to the complimentary coffee and juice. Attentive hosts pouring tea and reassuring your pleasant stay is pleasant. Typical guest is between 21 and 28, northern European pairs speaking German and Flemish, single native English speakers avoiding conversation.
