Portland

[With Herna & Mel]

On top of one of the highest hills, the brainpowers of Portland built a brand new ultra modern hospital, which is reacheable through the crooked ways up or by the cable capsule that elevates you like a ski resort’s gondola. Amazing views though, I just guess that counts more. Despite the big major buildings, remarkable modern architecture, great shopping areas, Chinatown, high ways incorporated into the city, and well functioning electric runned public transport -even trams, that Portland comprises, the suggestion of the big city life in fact feels like a small entrusted town. The prevalent greenness what it is known for might be a contribution to the familiarity.

Because our couchsurf host in Portland turned us down at the very last minute, and the only two hostels were fully booked, we were forced to crash the street until a friend of mine, Herna, who initially was not able to have us, finally offered us her own bed, where we slept the night, safe and sound.
