Portugal - School Senior Girls Soccer Trip - May 4th -6th




Portugal - Lisbon

Flew to Portugal - Lisbon on Thursday May 4th with the Senior Girls soccer team from Interantional School of London.

Went to St. Dominic's International School on arrive, where the students were hosted by families. After they left with them it was off to the hotel for me! We stayed at an amazing hotel. My room was massive - King sized bed with outdoor area. We even got petty cash to spend on every meal and what ever we needed.

The weather was perfect. I got a tan! By day I would meet the squad at the tournament venue, and by night i went back to the hotel where I would meet up with the other coaches! We went out for dinner in Cais Cas on the first night by the beach. The sencond night we sampled traditional portuguese food. Steak in sauce (The sauce surrounded the steak like a soup) and minimal vegies! Enjoyed the beer and a red wine. We then went to Europe's largest Casino in Estoril. Put 10 Euro's on black jack - One at the start then no good!

The tournament was well ran and the girls were amazing, they won a few and lost a few - they were very competitive!



Arrived back to London at 10.30 pm Saturday night and work paid for a cab home.

It was a great perk with this job and I loved every minute of it!
