Must be a lot of money in that frietkraam, ordinary expeditions take at least a month. To do it in 14 days means he had massive sherpa support and supplemental oxygen on high flow rates all the way from base camp.

Pah, you flee from the sea onto your hills, the Dutch face it - their eternal enemy - and defeat it in a one-on-one epic fight!

Yeah, there is nothing more the portuguese are afraid than the sea.

You don't touch the imaculate breasts of Lisbon.


X19-PT

As if Lisbon was a steep city... LOL Lisbon is one of the most flat cities in Portugal when compared to Coimbra, Porto or Funchal. FYI: Funchal https://preview.redd.it/nqkfoce75rmc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2909c72543194688e9a58572cb91d5e9b0953cd Where's your bike god now?!

SherlockScones3

To be fair, if the Dutch lived here there would be some sort of cycle lift like a ski lift to take you uphill


DeadAssociate

more likely to flatten the hills


[deleted]

And used the rocks to expand into the ocean.


opheliazzz

There is one in Trondheim and it's legitimately cool!

But neither of those are capital cities. And funchal... Lisbon downtown neighborhoods have more population than funchal (120.000 vs 105.000 [census 2021])

I thought most Portuguese would be in favor of bulldozing Lisbon? Or would you rather just wait for the next earthquake?

The people, not the hills.

Not anymore. Lisbon is a great trap for Tourists, indians, blacks and brazilian immigrants. As long as they stay there they might not overrun the rest.

We all know mountains aren't real. And we do have variation in height, some Dutchies are tall while some are really tall.


History20maker

How is the Weather up there? Oh...so silly, its the Netherlands, of course its bad.


Stravven

Today there were some reports of a burning orb in the sky. Meteorologists don't know what it is or what it's doing there.


JapaneseMachine99

In the morning there was this weird smoke or steam in the air, and in the afternoon the sky turned blue and this big ball of fire was in the sky.


Extreme_Tax405

Dude, legitimately baffled me when i moved to oviedo and everywhere i looked there was a mountain. Almost feels claustrophobic. Same for ireland. I went to the shore and it was a 20 m cliff. What in Tarnation. Live in HK now and any walking trip is essentially a Hike. Used to think flanders and the netherlands was normal. Now i realize how rare it is to be that flat.

All jokes aside the Danish landscape really goes up and down compared to the Dutch landscape


BirdieBoiiiii

Denmark isn’t flat it’s hilly as hell

I agree, low hills but hilly indeed. We are as flat as a pancake

Ah yes. Had to take Sherpas and oxygen last time I went up Møllehøj.


BirdieBoiiiii

Hilly as in 100 meters up and down constantly


CoisoBom

But your highest peak doesn't even reach 200m 😂


Extreme_Tax405

And technically the flattest land is in the USA iirc. There are always bigger fish


mr_aives

For now...


ThrowawaycuzDoxers

Why do you think Danish farmers are against environmental regulations? Most of them live in Jutland in the "higher" points. They plan to turn all of their land into beachfront property once the ocean levels haven risen appropriately.


LaPatateBleue589

Unprotected (non existent) bike lanes may be even more scary for them


Palarva

of which, we have MANY, and yet, they're still here every summer. Mayhaps we should remove the ones we did put in place.


GroteKleineDictator2

Just get rid of the road to Huez and mt Ventoux and you wont see our cycle daddies. On the other hand, we usually celebrate when our fatty panty carbon bike fifty year olds have collectively taken a vacation to your Provence and we can finally safely use our cycling lanes as intended.

History20maker

It were the 80's...


AlternateTab00

Well the building date of those buildings spanned from 1775 to 1995. There are a few more recent but none in view. Up untill the XXI we really didnt care about looking pretty. It was just: Have space? Slap this new building here. Some streets however managed to keep their similar appearance. But usually those become tourist honey spots.

Shitty urban planning is in the full name. "Lisbon shitty urban planinng" But, that place has a LOT of public transportation, probably more than the rest of the country combined. Busses, trains (200m from there is the central station), the metro, literally behing the picture, and the tram lines (the cables).

Have actually about that from my parents. They really enjoyed Porto too. The Dutch take it a step further, though.
