This particular terrace overlooks the Alabama district and it is always popular with tourists. Karma is a medieval convents that was ruined during the 1755 earthquake and today it is used as an archaeological museum. It's a strange feeling walking down the ruined nave of the church and seeing blue skies above your head but that's exactly what makes it worth the visit. Good morning from Lisbon that we needed some Portugal and cities are first day out sightseeing and our first order of business had to be. Food of course.

They were at. Trying. This and this is called. Steve did not though or busty cybelar em. And it's basically an egg custards hards. And it looks absolutely delicious. We originated over at the geronimus. Scary which is just over there and we're going to show you that leader and it was a recipe created by the monks. So it looks like they were good bakers guys creating tasty looking. So we pick these up from the original store where they were first produced and it was absolute chaos inside. It's something that's really cool is that the first time we ever tried these was actually in Asia where where Macao. A former Portuguese settlement.

Yes and you can find these in Brazil Hong Kong anywhere in the Portuguese one. Yeah exactly but now it's time to add. This. Sorry little tart move what we have here is we have a pack of cinnamon and icing sugar yes said so that's going to give it an extra sweet kick blood sprinkled out on. A.

I really like this because sometimes when you have an attorney. It tastes like cook day and that's just wrong desert should not like I. But this is like a really nice creamy custard very sweet it's his like a proper deserve. About being. So like I mentioned earlier in this recipe originated in the Jonas monastery. And this. Because apparently monasteries and convents used a lot of egg whites in order to start their clothes.

Don't ask me how this is done because I've never used egg whites to search my clothes but apparently this meant they had a lot of egg yolks left over and that's how they started baking and created this wonderful recipe which was eventually sold to the pastry shop where we picked up for egg tart so we're having the original recipe that the monks came up with. Another place to visit it's belum power with towers built on the banks of the Tagus river and it was meant to act as both the defense system and a ceremonial gateway into lifting. A.

The geronimus monastery is one of the most visited sites in Lisbon. It's also one of the best examples of late gothic manual in architecture so have a close look at the intricate detail in when you visit.

Really cool thing that we've noticed about Lisbon is that there's a big kiosk culture and you can find the subtle kiosks in almost every park you go to ensure you fine people just hanging out enjoying insuring capping a little snack and it seems to be a popular afternoon Palestine so we're gonna go to a little kiosk is woven into a little something something. A. The. Now. A. And the. And. For a different view of Lisbon consider taking a fair to the other side of the Tagus river you'll get some great shots of the city and it's a really pleasant ride especially if you lock code with blue skies and sunshine. It is lunch time here in Portugal and city we took the ferry over from Lisbon to conceal us and this is a great place to eat seafood because we're right by the Tagus river and fresh seafood is available at every single restaurant so we found a local little spot Sam has ordered salmon and I've ordered how bits so we're waiting for that to arrive in them initially supported the seafood. Surfing has finally arrived so it's time to take a tour of the place public here this is my how about cooked on the grill and we've got broccoli carrots and boiled potatoes with olive oil on top looks delicious ready to the. Nice fresh holiday.

Really juicy and so good with the lemon scored on top. It's a really nice like this. That's good because I've been snacking all morning so I could have made a late lunch at this point. But look at the it's nice and golden but still juicing the inside. Really good. And I also really like the. For 2. So I feel like I'm being. Neighbors are just. When you pour all. And for a. I.

Portugal for sure I know it's so good that we can get sick of it and look at the site.steep like it almost minutes about. Apparently. The only difference between our 2 plates is that you had. Teams are boiled vegetables and I have like a little garden salad over here so let's listen hoping that highs onions carrots little bit of cabins. But the front me does this is the reason. Took the ferry across the river for fresh fresh. My first bike. You. Home. Well that was it worth the ferry ride over. Yeah. Never will I fear. Casillas lies on the south bank of the Tagus and it was once a quiet fishing village.

It makes for a really nice teacher and they have some great restaurants serving up fresh grilled seafood to bring your appetite. And. IGN a fun way to get around Lisbon's hilly streets is by writing the trams. They're different lines across the city but number 28 is the most popular one with visitors. A. WNED other scenic look at Lisbon that you can visit the salt Petre Dale concert a lookout. Here you'll get some nice use of that include the castle. A.

Travel Kosovo

Hello and welcome to Kosovo. Then open most people are thinking of places to go and visit possible is not high on the list. However don't let its reputation put you off. Behind me is the capital city. Stina and has a lot to offer the Davis into. So I want you to come with me and I'll show you a few things that you can see within walking distance of the city center if you're only here for a few hours or just a day or 2 strip. To give you a flavor of possible really trust. Because of the. To get here most people will leave the flight Prishtina.

Travel Kosovo

Skull face Macedonia and then think about the good Prishtina yeah. If you choose to get here the place they had fought his mother to raise a street right in the heart of the city. As a pedestrian area. It's very popular with families and is often advance on here. Sometimes just concerts in summer. But there's always a happy code people wandering around just eating popcorn people watching. So here we are outside the National Library of Kosovo. This is about 5 minutes walk from the center if time so you know it's an easy place to come and see. And it's one of the most unusual buildings you will fight not just in Kosovo but anywhere I mean look at fleet of you ever seen anything like that before. It's basically a bunch of concrete blocks.

Covered in soot chain mail. Hats on the toll and the flight but cement actually represent hats of Albanian. Ethnic. From around here so. Make up your own mind what you think of the building for me I really quite like it. Right next door to the life of the. Old orthodox church knows just the shell from you. Go inside. But if it's still an interesting building to see it's right in the center of Pristina and access to a bit of a reminder of some of the more recent events that went on here.

So we're still basically in the same place right next to the National Library. Show the orthodox church over there and a third place to come and see is a national art gallery. It has exhibitions from not just local people from all over Kosovo predict how some international exhibitors as well who come and show off their work here. It's well worth the visit. Closed on a Monday I believe that open every other day of the week. If you steal it isn't one of the most beautiful city. Is in the water there's a law building what can re construction going on. And like all cities that has a hustling. Links and click to. But within a few minutes walk it's quite easy to escape back. To one of its many parks and that's where we'll head off to. So here we are just 2 minutes from the city center I'm in the middle of this beautiful city park. Filled with trees is very popular for people to come with the families at the weekend just sit and hang out.

Certainly if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life then look no further 2 minutes walk and you're here. So far we've come from Mother Teresa street right in the heart of this. City. Taken a short walk up to see the National Library. The old orthodox church which was never completed. The national art gallery and then we took a short walk over to city park. Another place I was really hoping to show you was the city mosque it's the biggest impish dina. This in part of the old time opposite the famous clock tower which also wanted to show you. But my camera packed him when I was there. So all I have to show you some photos I took during an alien visit which was asked on buying them. So I was up very and in the morning with them for this and it was really worth the effort damn it was a wonderful friendly family atmosphere I was made to feel very welcome. And then I had a nice opportunity to take these photos.

So now on to the last place I'd like to show you which is a little bit farther from the city center but it is well worth it because it's a really nice place. Spend their end of the day and watch the sun go down. So here we are and Rugova's park it's named after the first president of Kosovo Ibrahim Rugova who is buried in the grave behind me here. There is a very popular part for people to bring their families at the weekends. And it has a very nice atmosphere because of that it also has some views overlooking the time and it's a nice place to end the day to walk up here and see some of the stunning sunset so you can decide times a year. And it's a little bit farther away from the center but half an hour walk but it's well worth the trip.
