This July I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Lisbon, Portugal. I stayed in a lovely hotel on the coast in a place called Sintra. The hotel has a great Golf course, Swimming pools and Spa/Gym. These are usually the fun features I look for. As well as that the service was wonderful, the dinner was superb but the breakfast in my opinion was a let down.
Whilst in Lisbon, I was able to do some ziplinning, go on a segway tour, hit some golf balls and experience some of the local cuisine as well as business. I think my favourite dish was some grilled Octopus and Portuguese Steak with homemade sauce.
All in all I had a blast, a lovely place to visit with very polite people. Although beware of taxi drivers, they will try and charge you more as a outsider.
Peep the pictures from my trip below.

Ziplining was so much fun, Whilst jumping from tree to tree we were given a talk about the different types of tress and a brief background about the Castelo dos Mouros (Moors Castle) and Sintra.
Segway Nature tour was also amazing. This took place in Sintra, a beautiful mountain view with breathtaking scenery. Going through the forest was cool, there were a few voodoo points 0_0. People leave bottles of alcohol on the ground in a particular place as offerings to the spiritual energy in the forest.
It's said that the forest has magical energy and contains a border between the living and the dead. I prayed a lot every time we passed the rituals. Me, I don't want trouble o! lol
