Week 17 - Road Trip

Hey there!

It was Thursday the 23rd February around 11h30. Two long days of packing, throwing things away to clear the flat, were done!

I sat in my car. 3000 km were waiting for me. I was in Gütersloh, Germany and the next stop was Paris.

In Paris I met Guilherme. An old pal from high school. With him, Léhon was waiting for me.
We had a nice chat, some food and quite a few drinks. I have to say I was very well received, well fed and now a bit tipsy. Not bad for someone who had just driven 6 hours.

Friday morning. 10 am I hit the road again. Next stop: Montpellier. 7 hours away from Paris. A bit of a detour if you are trying to get to Lisbon. However it is Romain's birthday on Saturday. Romain is a french friend I met in Barcelona 3 years ago and we haven't seen each other since then. This is the perfect occasion to meet him.

2 Days passed I was on the road again. It was Sunday morning, it was sunny and I had now decided to drive to Zaragoza in Spain where I was going to stay for one night.

I didn't have much time to visit Zaragoza. I arrived around 7 pm and I was really tired from two days of partying in Montpellier and 7+ hours driving to arrive here. I had a quick meal and called it a night. Tomorrow the drive was going to be the longest one. I was going to drive to Lisbon from Zaragoza... roughly 9 hours!

It is now 8 pm. I am Lisbon! 4 days, 3000 km later I am finally home. What do I need after all this ?

Bife da Vazia - Portvgália.

Yep that was my treat for this insane trip. Between us.... I did not see a single S.M.A.R.T in the motorway since I left Germany. Yes, it was not made for that. But it did make it. And here am I now.

Today, 1 day after my arrival in Lisbon I am at Co-work Lisboa. A Co-working space in the heart of Lisbon. I am going to continue and complete my course here during the next couple of months.

The next task is called Illustrator VS Photoshop and the aim is to get acquainted with both those softwares.

See you next week!
