In my previous post I was revving up for the 10-hour trek to Portugal. But it took close to 16 hours – with a rain-soaked stop in Amsterdam – and I arrived safe and sound.
The people and places
The people I have come in contact with have been great! My taxi ride from Lisbon to Estoril was amazing. I saw a lot of the city even though it zoomed by at 160 km/hr. While my cab driver didn’t speak much English, he had no problem telling me where to visit, what to see and urged me to go to Cascais for a day trip. And I’ve heard the shopping in Lisbon is not to be missed.
Cascais
I made my way to Cascais this morning. I found a market where the people were so nice and patient as I tried very hard to understand what they were saying. But my search for a good bottle of port will require more research over the coming days before I settle on one to bring home.
A room with a view
There are many hotels across the street from the Casino Estoril and mine is one of them! The flashing bright lights called to me and I had to go check things out. The casino is a lot bigger than I had imagined, with lights inside and out and it looks quite classy from every view.
There are multiple places to visit with people and relax over a few drinks. And, this provides a great chance to talk with many of the players before the games begin at 9 tonight. There’s a lot of action here so make sure you don’t miss out on the start of the tournament!
The Betsson team
Upon our arrival, the Betsson team was setting up the welcome party which has a great living room feel that is both intimate and inviting. And the staff have been fantastic! I have no doubt that everything will be perfect when the players arrive.
NETELLER welcomes you
Our welcome party tonight will have a fun kick-off show so don’t miss out. From there the players will start testing their skills at 9 pm and run until 3 am.
We’ll be sitting with Betsson at the registration table to greet everyone before moving to our booth when the tournament gets underway. We’ll be at our booth until Tuesday signing people up, giving out great gifts and entering anyone who joins into a draw for a chance to win $1,000 on Tuesday evening! The funds will be credited into the winner’s account no later than Wednesday.
Come and meet us
My colleague Pavlina and I are really excited to be a part of this event. It’s going to be a busy one and we hope to have many guests visit our table so we can share and explain everything that NETELLER has to offer.
And finally, Estoril is an extremely beautiful place: poker, the ocean and a great crowd – it doesn’t get better than this!
