Chicken Run
Went out with some friends last night. I was the token photographer/fodder/male of the group as I met some girls I know who were out on a hen night / bachelorette party for dinner. It was a nice night – I went home after work to drop my stuff off and headed over to a restaurant called Chapito’s – near the castle. Arrived at about 11pm.
The restaurant was nice; we ate in a courtyard under a clown school and a lot of the décor was based on this. The staff weren’t dressed in clown costumes, sadly. Because the restaurant is located on such a high street, the views across to the river and the bridge were very nice at night; I might consider going there again in the future.
Afterwards we went for a few drinks in the Bairro Alto, and I’m don’t think I’ve been to many bars twice yet at all. Went to a place called Bedroom Bar which is quite pricey but quite a nice place. The music was standard, house / club stuff and it wasn’t very busy. This was a problem for some but I much, much, much prefer to be in a quieter club than a place with so many people in it.
Afterwards I came back to my flat with a few people and we drank a bottle of wine. A Polish friend, Justyna, didn’t like the cat so Caipirinha sat outside while we chatted for a while. It was really nice, and I enjoyed having friend round for the first time here. In future I plan to have a flat-party here, which will be nice.
It’s finally the weekend. I think tomorrow will be quite lazy barring a gym visit and Sunday we are still planning to go to a beach in Carcavelos. I’m still contemplating whether to buy a camera, mp3 player or both. I don’t have the money, in truth, but maybe I’ll treat myself to a cheap mp3 player or something if I find one. I depend on my music quite often!
Speaking of which, a video to commemorate the coming visit of the Pope in Lisbon by an artist I like to listen to. Please don’t watch if you’re religious in any way (it’s offensive)!
