Hummer Portugal - H1 beside the Jeronimos Monastery at Lisbon, Portugal.

Greetings of a good day from Portugal! Me and my Hummer H1 are now at Belem, Lisbon.
At the back is the Jeronimos Monastery with Manueline style architecture. Is is a World Heritage Site as classified by UNESCO.

If you know some world history, then you probably heard of Vasco Da Gama. This was the place where he and his crew prayed before their journey to India. But then, it was a hermitage named Ermida do Restelo which was founded by Henry the Navigator. After his successful return, a new monastery was ordered to be constructed at the same site as a commemoration.

There are many other attractions at the city of Belem. The Tower of Belem, is another Manueline style structure which was also built for Vasco da Gama's success. This structure is also a symbol of Portugal as a world power before during the Age of Discovery. The Monument

to the Discoveries is a monument for the ships which sailed the then unknown parts of the world. In this monument, there are sculptures of the famous personages during that time.

Later I will visit the National Coach Museum, National Archaeology Museum and Maritime Museum. But before that, I still have to finish this delightful pastries, a local favorite called Pasteis de Nata.
