We did an overnight train from Madrid to Lisboa and thankfully we lucked out and the three of us got a four person cabin. We had a massive beautification party in the cabin and used some well needed products like apricot exfoliator!!! Sigh the life as a backpacker...complete isolation from essential products :(
Lisboa was a hectic 2 days...we got to do Golden Jubilee Kushali there and im quite glad we made sure we put it in our trip. Regrettably we didnt get to see much else of Lisboa but i guess ill save that for another time! We got into Lisboa at a bit of a shaky start...we got lost on our way back from the pèost office! We finally go tto the kushali celebrations and found a little canadian crew that we hung out with. It was brutally hot but so interesting to meet portuguese Ismailis!! Some knew english but most just spoke portuguese and gujrati! But it felt like home... and we got some good nourishment...biryani and fanta and fruit and other yummyness. The next day Sahra and I ran around trying to find the Centro Ismaili -- the ismaili center. it was quite hidden and when we did find it (an hour from our airport departure time) we ran around it snapping pictures like crazy women.
Then we flew into Milan and had nowhere to stay so we pulled an all nighter at the airport, straight backpacker style!! It was quite fun!!
