A shit tone of things happened during those 4 days so I’m just gonna do a quick recap.
Alright so first ; a shit tone of stairs. If you have a big bag, even if you like hiking or challenges, believe me the last thing you want is to climb 400 stairs after a 5 hours trip with a big bag and dressed like an oignon because it’s freezing in this country. Check out the Bolt or the Uber it’s usually pretty cheap.
Then ; if you’re at the Hotel do Elevador, hope you enjoy rustic charm. Food’s great thought.
Paulo, best waiter (gave himself this surname), but actually he’s a nice grandpa.
The training itself is quite intense (starting at 9:30 and ending around 18:00). For four days my blood was either coffee or alcohol. At some point I think we were all turning with 6 expresso a day. Btw the coffee machine, the one you can access anytime, makes really watery coffee so if you want a “real” expresso, take a double. And I find out it was pretty common in Portugal to put chocolate in the cappuccino.
