To travel economically, youth hostels are always reliable. (Youth Hostel in Portugal = “Pusadas de juventude”) We have decided to stay couple of days at a Youth Hostel in Catalazete, in a beachtown called Oeiras, about 20 minutes west of Lisbon. Double room with WC/shower cost 30 euro, 15 euro each. (about 2000yen) Breakfast included. The whole Atlantic Ocean is right in front of the hostel!

We have joined to gather in the “BOOM festival 2004″ held at Idanha-a-Nova lake, Portugal, Aug 26th-31st. The site was located in a very dry area, and the sun was extremely strong, but we could swim in the beautiful lake during the day. What a magnificant and international party! It was very well organized, more than 20,000 people gathering. We were amazed how sophisticated the trance scene is in Portugal and Spain. Very nice and wild crowd! The music was all the way progressive, and the last DJ (Nerd from Scotland?) was rocking.
