    🇵🇹 Lisbon, Portugal

    Made it to Lisbon!

    September 2 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Day 2: The whole day is a bit of a blur. Four hours wandering Copenhagen’s airport after being bumped to a later Lisbon flight. SAS gave us food vouchers, so we found a kebab shop for chicken and french fries.

    Finally landed in Lisbon around 11:30 p.m., put the bikes together, and rolled out around 1 a.m. Our ride to the apartment was peaceful, with just a few people walking around. Much easier to navigate than a crowded city, though we still would’ve preferred arriving on time!

    No dinner or drinks, but we have water and Lisa’s snacks. And I mean A LOT of snacks. ❤️

    Tomorrow: fine-tune the bikes and hopefully explore Lisbon! 100° forecasted! 🥵    Read more

    O’Hare!

    September 1 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Our adventure has begun… with an extended tour of O’Hare!

    Thanks to Doug for the airport ride, Randy and Sally for the wonderful good-luck sign, and everyone who helped us get ready. ❤️

    Our airplane took an unscheduled Wisconsin vacation, so our carefully planned timeline is now a rough suggestion. Hoping to reach our Lisbon hotel by 2 a.m. September 3.

    We’ve got each other and two months of adventure ahead. Portugal, we’re coming… eventually! 🚲🇵🇹    Read more
