An hour delay at O’Hare to LaGuardia due to historically bad air quality in NYC. Luckily we had lots of time in New York. We flew Brussels air from NYC to Brussels. We thought we had regular business class seats, but were pleasantly surprised that we had fully reclining seats. We got a good 5 hours of sleep on the way to Europe.Läs mer

Brussels Day 1
9 juni 2023, Belgien ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
Friday - Arrived early to Brussels. Took 1.5 hours to get through passport control due to only 2 lanes open. Great Uber ride to The Dominican Hotel. We did the GPSMyCity walking tour. Brussels is great downtown. Not very big. We had a pizza at Scott’s late afternoon and then back there to start our beer tour. Tried a couple there and then to Toone. We really liked the Kriek which is a cherry lambric. Really fun and met some great younger people from all over Europe. Ate at Cafe Georgette. Food was good, not great although the mussels (Moules) were excellent. Really fun sitting next to a bachelorette party.Läs mer

Brussels day 2
10 juni 2023, Belgien ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
Saturday - We split a really good raisin brioche loaf for breakfast and then went to the Choco-Story museum in the morning. It was interesting. We walked to Cinquetnaire Parc via Parc Leopold. Great to see another area of Brussels. We walked to Maison Antoine to have frites but the here closed due to technical issues. Had a beer at The First. Great neighborhood. Walked back. Had dinner at 9 et Voison. Known for Belgian food. Michael had rabbit in a cherry beer sauce and Carrie had a pork knuckle with a mustard sauce that was fantastic. Needed to have a waffle at Belgian Waffle for dessert. Stopped for one beer at Scott’s before heading back.Läs mer

11 juni 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F
Sunday - Left Brussels very early on Sunday to head to Seville via Madrid. Met with the boys in the airport as our flights arrived within 15 minutes. Headed to our Airbnb in TRIANA neighborhood. The market was across the street so we had a beer and a jamon sandwich until our apartment was ready. Everyone napped and took it easy. Dinner in the neighborhood.Läs mer

Segway and food tour
12 juni 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 86 °F
Monday- started the day with a Segway tour. What a beautiful city. After the tour we decided to walk back to Parc Maria Luisa and the Plaza de Spagna. Met up with our food tour and tried lots of good food and drinks. Matt decided he is a sherry drinker.Läs mer

Dag 6
Tangiers
13 juni 2023, Marocko ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
Tuesday - We all checked off a new continent today - Africa. We took a bus ride to Tarifa and a ferry boat across to Strait of Gibraltar. Bus as 2.5 hours from Seville and ferry was about 1 hour. We saw where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean. Outside the central city, Tangiers is beautiful and looks like a wealthy resort area. Nice homes and pretty beaches. In the central market it looked more as expected. Lots of stalls, lots of pushy sellers and very narrow streets. Matt bought a fake Rolex for 25€ and Will bought a leather ottoman for his cat! We also rode camels. Our local tour guide Rachid was the best!Läs mer

Dag 7
Cooking class and tour
14 juni 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Wednesday - started the day with a paella and sangria cooking class. It was just our family. We agreed we like our sangria better, but the paella was excellent. We hired a private tour guide in the afternoon to see the cathedral as well as tour the bullfighting ring. All very interesting, but it was so hot and we were exhausted by the end. We went to Victoria 8 for dinner, as it was recommended by both guides today. The food was outstanding; best we had in Seville by far. Christopher Columbus tomb is at the cathedral.Läs mer

Piggies
15 juni 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Thursday- we had our tour of the Iberico ham farm, production, and tasting. We loved our hike outside to the pasture where there are pigs and donkeys. Our guide Ania did a great job. At the end we were able to taste lots of different products, including a BBQ. We all agreed it was great, but our meat hangover was real. It will be awhile before we eat lots of cured pork. We also learned that cork came from the bark of certain oak trees in the region, which are harvested every 9 years.Läs mer

Granada and Alhambra
16 juni 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
Friday - we took a tour to Granada and Alhambra. Honestly, it was pretty brutal. It is about a 3.25 hour ride each way from Seville. We were in a small bus with less leg room than the worst economy flight. Granada was just a stop for lunch. Alhambra itself was beautiful, but very hot and long. Moorish/Muslim construction was very pretty.Läs mer

Dag 10
Off to Portugal
17 juni 2023, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
Saturday- we hired a car service to take us from Seville to Porto. We stopped in Badajoz, Tomar and Coimbra on our way to Seville. Badajoz is an old town, but not much to see. Tomar has the Knights Templar Castle that was under renovation. It was really cool because there were few rules on where you could go, so we were able to walk around and see a lot! Coimbra is the oldest university in Portugal. Really cool buildings. We checked into our Airbnb in Vila de Gaia, which is very nice and has a separate bedroom for each kid. Had dinner on the river in Gaia. The parade for the start of the Festival of St Jaoa (John) was so fun.Läs mer
