2022年5月18日，星期三，此次旅行第30天
Wednesday, May 18, 2022. Day 30 of the trip
今天肯定不能再被地铁抢劫一次，PJG发现这里也有Bolt，只需要5欧元！5分钟到了机场，办理登机的时候，竟然没！有！索要我俩的新冠测试结果！而且美国的CDC的疫苗卡是被接受的！葡萄牙的官方网站明明写着如果不是欧盟或是欧盟合作国的疫苗卡，就需要提供测试结果的！就料到欧洲国家不会严格，没想到这么不严格。一个小时的飞行， 到了里斯本，机场里也没有人检查病毒测试或是疫苗卡！真正白白浪费了71欧元的测试费用！
We definitely didn’t want to get robbed by the subway again today so we found that Bolt is used here too – and just 5 euros to the airport, beats the 11.5 we paid yesterday for the subway!
When we checked in, they asked for our passport, Covid vaccine card but never asked for our Covid-19 test results! Portugal’s official website clearly states that if the vaccine card is not from an EU or an EU partner country (and USA is not on the list), you need to provide the test results! And, after the hour flight to Lisbon, no one at the airport was checking the virus test results either! A real waste of 71 euros for the tests!
早上到了马德里机场后，我俩又仔细地看了一下取行李的牌子，注意下面的牌子，在“取行李和出口”的旁边还有“休息室6”的字样，这个标识实际上非常重要，因为它才是告诉你取哪里取行李的关键信息，因为显然这里的各个取行李区不是连通的，昨天我俩的航空公司的取行李区是“休息室2”，但是我俩是按着“休息室6”的牌子引导走的，所以导致了昨天取行李的问题。为什么这个机场这么安排？而且为什么要用“休息室”这个词？太有误导性了！
After arriving at the Madrid Airport in the morning, the two of us took a closer look at the signs for baggage claim that confused us last night. Next to “claim baggage and exit”, there is the word “Lounge 6.” It turns out the word “Lounge” is the key information that differentiates the many baggage claim areas. Yesterday, the baggage claim area for our airline was “Lounge 2”, which we never heard. Why is this airport arranged this way? And why do they use the word “lounge”? So misleading!
入住整顿完毕后，在民宿里洗了衣服，这个民宿有一个小的洗衣烘干一体机，花费了很长的时间洗了两锅衣服，下午基本上没干什么，在周围转了一圈，然后在附近的一家小饭店吃了晚饭。
After checking in, we attempted to wash our clothes in the B&B. They have a small combo washer and dryer machine. It took a long time to wash two lots of clothes and it left them all wrinkled. It would have been better to just take them to a laundromat. We didn’t do too much in the afternoon; walked around the area and then had dinner at a nearby restaurant.
今天就这样了，晚安了。
That’s it for today, good night.
这里的饭是挺有特色，蛤蜊和猪肉土豆还能弄一起。
蛋挞很诱人，我去澳门吃的蛋挞就很好吃，这的应该更好了。
建筑物墙上那么多雕像，挺好看。
Maybe Will or Jameson will know why the airport uses the word Lounge to designate your baggage claim area.
Did you try a Portuguese custard tart?
It is amazing the amount of work that went into decorating the outside of buildings centuries ago.
Are Tuk Tuk cars used as taxis?
Well we won’t make the baggage claim mistake again 🙂 yes we’ve had several of the tarts … really good!
Bob just told me that you said the tarts were delicious, I guess I missed that.
Also missed the whole paragraph about not needing to show COVID test results! I’m thinking that if you had tested positive you wouldn’t have gone to Lisbon and probably the same for everyone, so no need to ask for results!!
Yes total bullshit … we read the requirements very carefully … oh well, 71 EUR gone.
