Day Sixty-Nine..#Armoured Police Escorts..
Now I watch a lot of movies..and I always get excited when someone important shows up..someone important enough to need a police escort.
So today..imagine my excitement when I was standing at the bus stop after my bus broke down on the way back from school, and I hear these sirens.
Now the sound of sirens is pretty popular in Portugal, so people usually ignore them.
I turned to look.
With traffic coming in both directions, out of nowhere a police motorbike swoops out of the side street and stops in the middle of the road, stopping traffic in its tracks (it was a police motorcycle after all..sirens a-blazing!)..then another one came out of the same street swung around beckoned the okay (I’m assuming)..then a blacked out Range Rover and a blacked out BMW X5 followed with two further police motorcycle escorts before they all raced around the next corner..
It was so awesome. I so should have filmed it..
I’m also sure I had a big fat stupid grin on my face..
It felt like I was in my own movie..and it’s probably sad to say..but that made my day!! 😀
*he he*

It was so much more awesome that the photograph!
Just Saying! 😛
Why is the person in the top middle of the photo wearing a kilt, not very portugese. I just realised I don’t know how to spell portugese!
I know! I couldn’t find Portuguese police motorcycle escorts..I was so sad!
But it was SOOOOO AWESOME! 😀
actually..in saying that..one day myself and my house mates were going to dinner..in Portugal..and a guy walked past us in a kilt..I was undoubtedly confused :s
The policemen look definitely very different from the ones in our country. Here’s a link: http://dalmuji.wordpress.com/2010/08/04/tribrata-sumpah-dan-janji-polisi/
