My adventure to the Style Outlets

So, a friend of mine told me about the Style Outlets, a shopping center full of outlet stores from all the brands in Portugal. Imagine my happiness as

Malina + Shopping = ♥

So today I finally decided to go. She said: you take the metro line to Póvoa de Varzim and get out at the Movida Centro station. When you get out, you walk in front and at some point, you see it. It's easy!

If it'e easy, then let's go! I go to Trinidade, I change the metro and I realize when I reach the Franco station that I haven't validated my andante card. :)) I laugh at myself and get out of the train. I wait for another 15 min. for the next train to Póvoa de Varzim to arrive. It's an Express, so I take it. I'm really happy at this point and already imagine myself shopping, in sales heaven. 

But wait!

The Express train doesn't stop in every station! I realize this only when it's too late to get out of it. I understand from the announcement that the train will only stop in Varziela station. That's just great! That's one zone further than where my ticket goes! So now I'm in metro hell. And the laughs to myself are all gone. While praying I don't meet anyone who checks the tickets, I get so luck my way. The train stops! I get out and wait for another 15 min. for the next one to come. 

Ok, now I'm at the Movida Centro station. But where is the city I imagined this station to be in? Where are the streets? How do I get to my shopping heaven? I ask around and

Wait! What?

Where do I have to go? On this little path next to the train lines and through this forest like 500 m, then under that bridge and to the left?

Ok, I can do that, it's plain day, what could happen to me? I just have to hurry with the shopping so that the night doesn't catch me walking this roads!

'Good plan', I say to myself! But, surprise, surprise! It's already night when I leave for home.

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid!

But, yeah, I was 20% afraid. That's why I ran for like 100 m!
