PortugalWe have an early Saturday morning flight out of Lisbon, so we hopped back in the car and drove up to the city from the Algarve. The drive up is beautiful and was our first time seeing much of it as our first trip was fraught with intense rain. Imagine a cross between the countrysides of Italy, Spain and green Africa. When we hit Lisbon in the late afternoon we grabbed an Uber to the Time OutRead more
PortugalThursday was a lazy day as Monica was still fighting off her sickness and the weather was horrendous yet again. It’s fairly ironic that we came to Portugal to escape the dreariness of Lux only to have two days of sun while we were here...can’t win em all. So instead of trying to force an adventure, we took the opportunity to relax and enjoy the small spa at Monte Vila.
PortugalWe took a day trip to Sagres, which is a small surf town on the corner of Portugal and all of Europe. During our visit we stopped at the Fortaleza de Sagres and walked around the ground getting some great shots while doing so. After a nice late lunch we took a casual drive back to our hotel in Moncarapacho.
PortugalDay 3 finally took us in the city. We spent the morning at Castelo de Sao Jorge and took in the views of the city and river. After that we met up with Maria and did a walking tour of the city. You could already tell that tourist season was upon the city as it was lively and crowded.
PortugalDay 1 of the Portugal trip was all about relaxing and eating in style. After a quick dip in the pool and a sit in the steam room, we dined at Feitoria - a Michelin star winner. Things are looking up in Portugal :)
GermanyToday marks the 1 year celebration of Monica and I moving to Luxembourg, so to celebrate what better way than to leave Luxembourg! We set out and drove east across the German border to hang out on the Mosel river and drink the regions famous white wine. The trip was rather quick but we got to see the famous vineyards on the hill, and they did not disappoint! Oh and the wine was quite nice :)
United Kingdom
For our 1 year wedding anniversary, Monica and I spent the long weekend in London! Despite the terrorist attach that occurred while we were there, it did not get our spirits down, nor did it seem to affect its residents as they were out and about the next day.
Like most of our trips, we spent the time eating and drinking our way through the city. Highlights definitely include a martini at Duke'sRead more
