Sail boat life
20 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
It’s amazing how much the time of day makes a difference.

The morning of our departure we were up at sunrise and the water around the boat was smooth and glassy. We took the paddle board out for a spectacular and easy cruise around the canals.

There were some questionable realisations about where the toilet discharged to and why the large fish around our boat appeared so healthy.

The island had a huge party during the night for the ‘day of the island’ so everything was very peaceful while we imagine the fishermen were nursing some sore heads.

At 9am Andre came back to pick us up to take us to the ferry. He mentioned that he saw us being rescued by the local fishermen yesterday. He made some delusional comments about how it just takes practice to take a paddle board with two people and wind and the wakes of multiple party going boats back to our sail boat without assistance. And also that it only takes 20 minutes to cross the island to the lighthouse in 40 degree heat.

We took the ferry back to Faro and jumped on a bus to Lisbon, our next destination.En savoir plus

Walking tour with Telma
21 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
We took a fantastic walking tour through several neighborhoods of Lisbon with actress/ singer guide Thelma. She treated us to some march songs and fado music along the way.

We visited Bairro Alto, Chiado, Baixa (Downtown) and Alfama (the old town and the top of Lisbon).

We visited the site of the revolution in Lisbon in the 70s, the convent de Carmo, Santa Justa elevator (travel hack - we didn’t pay €5). Telma gave us some great tips for where to go to listen to real Fado music. We climbed many stairs and got to try another pastel de nata from nata de Lisbon.En savoir plus

A cherry liqueur on the way up the hill
21 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
In the way up to the Old town at the top of Lisbon (Alfama) there are lots of little stalls run by grannies selling homemade Ribera cherry liqueur. They are €1 or €1.50 in a chocolate shot glass. It was a good boost to get us up the next set of stairs!

At the top near a group of trees we stopped to see the 180 degree view of Lisbon and have a glass vinho verde (green wine) and a pastel de nata. The vinho verde is a little bit sparkly and dry and only made in Portugal.

We had a late lunch at the time out market (including a shot of Ribera along the way). Keyala had the traditional Portuguese francheschina sandwich and highly recommends it.En savoir plus

Sunset and moon rise
21 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
At the end of the street of our Airbnb was a little quiosque (kiosk) with an amazing sunset view. We had a caipirinha and green wine while we watched the sky turn pink over the Tagus river, 25th of April suspension bridge and the giant Christ the King statue on the other side of the river. Sunset was around 9.30pm and just after the sun set a spectacular huge moon started rising from the east which made all the quiosque patrons gasp and ooo and aaah. A musician was playing as the sun set which was a lovely way to bring in the evening.En savoir plus

Fado and vinho verde
22 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
Thelma had recommended that we go to to a Fado bar while in Lisbon so we went to one in Chiado. We arrived around 11pm and the bar was locked while the singer and guitarist played. It is very serious business with no talking allowed during the set. We heard the singing from the outside. When we were let in we were too late for the sets but the musicians were rehearsing while we had some dinner and a glass of green wine.En savoir plus

Pastel de nata breakfast
22 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Breakfast on our last day in Lisbon was at another pastel de nata cafe. Mantegeira- definitely on the highly recommended list.

Pastel de nata lunch Belem
22 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
A Portuguese friend from work gave me a tip for the best Portuguese tarts so we headed by tram to the nearby town of Belem. Here we visited the monastery of Belem (Jeronimos Monastery) where the monks made the first ever Portuguese tarts. The cafe nearby to the monastery pastel de Belem uses the highly guarded same recipe as the monks.

Portuguese tarts we invented because the monks and nuns in the monastery would use egg whites to starch their habits. All the monasteries in Portugal were closing down due to costs. So the Belem monks did a deal with the sugar refinery next door and turned the excess yolks into custard tarts to sell so they could survive.

The pastel de Belem definitely got my number 1 ranking for best pastel de nata. Closely followed by pastel de licor near our Airbnb in Lisbon that came with a shot of pastel de nata liquore and our first pastel de nata in Faro at the cherry cafe.En savoir plus

Duoro Valley Port tasting
23 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
Our only goal in Porto was to do a port wine tasting (and eat pastel de natas). We set off early in the morning to the Douro valley and started with a peaceful cruise. Our guide Melina told us there was an open bar on the cruise. Lost in translation… there was a bar that was open. €2 for a beer.En savoir plus

Quinta de Santa Julia port winery
23 juillet 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C
We visited two wineries in Porto. Our first very passionate expert told us everything we needed to know about port wine but we were very thirsty by this stage as it was 35+ degrees so all we could concentrate on was the tasting.

We had a United Nations lunch with a Scottish couple, and American / Indian couple, two American girls, us Aussies and the Portuguese free flowing wine. Lunch was a traditional Portuguese farmer’s pork pasta and a vego alternative. Great company, lovely food, great wine and beautiful gardens and views.

At our next winery the Scottish couple bought an extra bottle of Ruby port and didn’t feel they could take it home so we all sat around to help them finish it.En savoir plus
