    Back in Lisboa

    April 13, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    We 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 Out Market and ate pretty much everything we could get our hands on.Read more

  • Moncarapacho - waiting out the weather

    April 12, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    Thursday 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.Read more

  • Sagres - Edge of Europe

    April 11, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    We 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.Read more

    April 9, 2018 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Day 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.Read more
