Beach&Party Weekend in Lisboa



Here's a thought: we've been doing a fair bit of work, exam period is coming up, some of us are getting a tiny weeny bit stressed out.

Work + Exams + Stress = we gotta chill out before the 2nd term begins!

With this in mind, Group A went through one of their trademark brainstorming sessions:

  • one standing up and writing everything on the white board, 
  • another one doing the same but in some fancy application on the ipad, 
  • one making sure that the discussion is emotionally charged by making as many extreme statements as humanly possible complemented by extensive use of loadsa powerful adjectives
  • another one snoring through most of it and occasionally intervening with some enthusiastic paraphrasing of someone else's idea, 
  • one getting on everybody else's nerves with occasional pseudo witty lecture style "clever" comments and 
  • last but not least, another one silent most of the time and only coming out of the shell when the group had walked through the self destructing path far enough that required prompt action to re-balance emotions and avoid irreversible implosion.

The result: BEACH&PARTY Weekend in Lisbon. Find some details below:

When?
2nd July (Friday) - 4th July (Sunday)
We can leave straight after the quants exam on the 2nd.

Where?
aaaa... well, in Lisbon where else?....

What?
Mostly all sort of beach activities (surfing, frescobol, good food, great partying!)

How?
Important disclaimer: this is not an all included perfectly organized trip. If you want to go, get together with 2 or 3 people, rent a car and hit the road!

The big advantage is that you have expert local knowledge available (that would be me, btw...) that you can use kinda like in the spirit of Alice's rent a local friend.

I'll be posting some more details and tips on things such as how to get there (recommend car), where to stay (hotel vs flat), where to go (some of the best beaches of Europe crammed up in a 15km radius around Lx...), where to eat (insider tips only), where to party (I might be able to make guest list arrangements where it's needed).

Stay tuned!...

  1. surfing is indeed an option, or should I say, a mandatory activity!
    I will be checking the swell charts to make sure we go to the right beach
