Travel Day and Lisbon

So, the key to keeping travel costs down...less beer and coffee...My travel day was good until the airport in Lisbon whereby it took them 1 hour to deplane our luggage...but it arrived so no complaints.  After that it was easy, jumped on a shuttle for 3 bucks and arrived at this amazing square two blocks from my hostel...I was not off the bus longer than 10 seconds and some older dude than me said, hey buddy want some weed...umm, no thanks but thanks for thinking of me...arrived at my hostel, the travellers house, and was amazed at the apartment I got...better than most hotels I stay at...met some English and American peeps and proceeded to get drunk on cheap beer...Today's travel saw me take an hour bus tour [kinda lame] and then i took the metro to the Colouste Gulbenkian Museum which is the life collection of one of the greatest collectors of all time..so unique and all encompassing...check it out on the web...tomorrow I am going to Sintra [a town outside of Lisbon] and then a monastery if there is time...also, i learned today that there is a town called Flintoft Saskatchewan...yeah but i don't believe it...
