      Bat the bread, win a bread

      1. mai, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      A few months ago, I messaged Branna with what I was pretty sure was a revelation.

      Using lots of exclamation marks, I made proprietary noises about the concept of self care through disassociation, i.e, pretend there's a child that needs rest and nutrition and fun and love and dedicate yourself to its service. The child just happens to be you.

      I got the hump when she pointed out how fucking obvious and ancient that thinking is, but as a card carrying people pleaser, externalising a person to please works for me.

      This kid had an absolute whale of a time today. I said yes to everything. You're a bit wet? We'll have a sit down in that warm bar. You want one of those snacky things? We'll have two. That's shiny? Swipe the card babe. Tired? Nap time! I love you. I love you too. Midnight snack? Good idea.

      Lisbon, Portugal Day 2

      1. mai, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

      We opted for a private Tuk Tuk ride today.

      We met our guide at 9 AM.

      We had a wonderful day learning about all of Lisbon's important structures, parks, street art, and tile mafia.

      Our guide was wonderful.

      We returned to the ship around 1 PM and had lunch.

      I worked on blog.

      We were invited to an event this evening where we would eat at the Captain's Table with the group we went to Marrakesh with along with Heather Clancy, Henry, Krystal, Luann and Rob. I got the time wrong and we showed up about 45 minutes late. I know that I am really exhausted because I rarely get my times mixed up.

      We had a lovely evening.

      Lisbon, Portugal

      30. april, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      The hairstylist had to cancel my previous appointment due to illness, so I had it rescheduled for today at 8:00.

      After my hair appointment, I went back to the room and tried to pay our roofing contractor one more time.

      We went to lunch at 11:30 AM. Jenni joined us at lunch. I tried to talk her into seeing if she could join our tour as she didn't have a tour for the day. She said that she would think about it.

      I ran downstairs and picked up our passport for the final time.

      We then got our coats on and headed out for the tour.

      We asked the excursion person if there was room for Jenni. She indicated that they had confirmed Jenni on the tour and we were assigned to the same bus.

      Once on the bus, I called Bank of America's fraud department because they blocked my online payment to our roofing contractor. I am hoping that this payment will finally go through.
      We could immediately tell that we had a good guide today. He gave us a lot on information and had a great sense of humor.

      We drove to the Queluz Royal Palace while the guide gave us information on the history of Portugal.

      The Queluz Royal Palace was impressive. We toured several wings of the palace and the garden.

      We then drove to the quaint, hilly town of Sintra. Our guide was from Sintra so he was a wealth of information regarding the town. There is a National Palace located in Sintra but entrance to this palace was not part of the tour. We toured the "garden" of the National Palace which was really a pour excuse a garden.

      Bob, Jenni and I walked through the town. We toured an actual artist school where students were working on tiles and other ceramic art.

      We met the group just outside the National Palace, walked to the bus, and then had a drive along the coastline.

      The traffic was bad so we didn't get back to the ship until around 7:00 PM. We quickly changed and had dinner in the restaurant with Jenni because lobster thermidor was on the menu.

      We really enjoyed our first day in Portugal. It was nice to have a great guide.
      Drove to Sinatra
      Toured garden which was a poor excuse for a garden
      Walked through town

      Sintra, May 1

      1. mai, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      A full day of seeing the National Palace of Pena where the last kings and queens of Portugal lived before the 1910 revolution ended the monarchy and the Castle of the Moors, and 11th century fortress which eventually fell to the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula. Did not start well. We paid to take a bus up to the palace. We had traveled less than mile when traffic stopped - due to a bus up the road which had managed to block traffic and not get turned around. So we abandoned the bus and walked - asking for lots of directions along the way. Toured the very crowded palace at 3 p.m. and the palace grounds, then we walked to the Castle of the Moors and hiked up the battlements to the top for views in all directions including the Atlantic Ocean, the Tagus River, downtown Lisbon, and all of the Sintra area. Very interesting visit. Then we hiked down a trail - which sort of vanished when we got to the outskirts of town requiring Google maps to help us find our way. Stopped at a small cafe for wine, coffee, and an appetizer then returned to the Apeadeiro restaurant for a full dinner complete with cheesecake, port, and two pastries, the last port and pastries courtesy of the restaurant.Les mer

      Sintra, Portugal, April 30

      30. april, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Took a Uber to the bus station then a bus ride from Porto to Sintra. Nice ride with Wifi. Checked in to the Villa Aedan using an Uber - which had a tough time figuring out where it was. I had trouble locating the place on Google maps, too. After some unpacking we walked to the recommended Apeadeiro restaurant and had a nice mid-day meal. They even provided a glass of port and a pastry to each of us at the end of our meal. From there we walked to the Quinta de Regeleira a private mansion with lots of novelties now owned by the City of Sintra as a tourist attraction. Fun place including the Well of Initiation, a 70' plus hole excavated in limestone with a circular stairway winding around an open center. Several quirky towers, lots of exotic flowers and trees with a chapel and a mansion right out of The Adams Family (the old TV show). Google maps gave us some trouble here and we ended up walking the wrong way for a while, adding a half mile or more to our walk to the entrance. Our entrance fee was seven euros - the cost for people over 65. Returned to our room at the Villa Aedan which requires three keys to get in. One for the front gate, one for the front door, and then one for the room. Walked into town again to explore and bought two clementines at a local store. Ate the last of the Queso Cabrales from Cangas de Onis.Les mer

      Porto, Portugal April 29

      29. april, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      To the Clerigos church and tower at 9 a.m. We were first in the line! About a 200' climb up circular stairs to the two observation levels near the top of the tower. Beautiful 360 degree views. Then down to the Burmester cellars on the other side of the Luis 1 bridge for a short tour of the cellars followed by port tasting. Enjoyable. Nice conversation with people from Austria and Poland at our table. topped by a quirky business that sells canned seafood with interesting labels. On to visit the World of Wine (the chocolate and cork exhibitions). Nice exhibitions with occasional errors in English. But overpriced. Returned to the apartment stopping by a small restaurant for Curry Dourada (fish) along the way.Les mer

      Porto, Portugal April 28

      28. april, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Our first night in the apartment went well. Eating breakfast and enjoying coffee. Did some more city exploring then took a 50 minute boat tour on the River Douro of the six bridges. Nice views of the city. Walked across the Luis 1 bridge again and bought tickets for port tasting and tour at the Burmester cellars then tasted four kinds of port at the Calem cellars while chatting with two fellows from Nottingham, England. Salads from the local mini-grocery for dinner, then we attended the Fado performance not far from the Hotel da Bolsa, which is a steep hike down and then back up to our apartment.Les mer

      Waschtag und Erinnerungen

      1. mai, Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Heute ist Waschtag. Freitag kommt Martina, da muss doch alles sauber sein. Die Wetterapp sagt schönes, meist sonniges Wetter voraus. Bereits 9.30 Uhr hängt die Wäsche an der Leine. Und wie es natürlich so kommt, zieht gleich mal ne dicke schwarze Wolke vor die Sonne. Aber der Regenradar bleibt bei kein Regen. Da hoffe ich doch, dass das klappt heute.
      Es hatte geklappt und am Nachmittag bin ich mit dem Auto nochmals nach Carvoeiro. Wollte die andere Seite der Küste nach Westen hin mal noch ablaufen. Irgendwo muss doch unsere Bucht, in der wir vor 38 Jahren immer zum Baden waren, zu finden sein. Die Bucht war was Besonderes, da schlecht zugänglich, eigentlich niemand darin und wenn die Flut kam, sollte man raus. Sonst wurde es schwierig. Ich musste einiges laufen, aber gefunden habe ich sie trotzdem. Und sie ist immer noch sehr schwer zugänglich.

      Der Westen, Sete Cidades und Capelas

      1. mai, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Gestern Abend waren wir im Café Canto do Cais Fisch essen. Ein einfaches Restaurant, mit Tische und Bänke, welche man andern Besuchenden teilt, mit bester Bewertung und voller Grüsse von Besuchenden an den Wänden. Wir haben, wie bereits am Abend zuvor im Restaurant in der Nähe, sehr gut gegessen😋 heute ging es entlang der Küste in Richtung Westen. Erster Stopp war die Moinho do Pico Vermelho. Zweiter Stopp der Viewpoint oberhalb von Mostairos. Wobei wir ehrlich gesagt noch für das Suchen von Caches mehr angehalten haben😅 (sie sind aber äusserst schlecht gewartet und oft nicht da 🙄). Dafür hat es gefühlte alle 400 m öffentliche Grillstellen. Weiter ging es hinunter nach Sete Cidades mit dem Besuch der Kirche im Ort, zu den Ruinen des Palace Hotel (wie ganz viele andere Touris auch🙈). Geplant war dann eine Wanderung zu den Seen Lagoa Rasa, da es aber ziemlich zügig und frisch war, gingen wir zurück nach Capelas. Dort runter zum Meer (ja, es hat Cache dort) und fanden einmal mehr eine wunderschöne Bucht🤩Les mer

      11. Etappe: Auf nach Sagres

      30. april, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Bis 11h sitze ich in dem gemütlichen Frühstücksraum, genieße Müsli und Rührei und schreibe meinen restlichen Text.
      Der Wetterbericht hat einige Schauer angesagt und die kann ich hier bestens ignorieren.
      Bevor es auf Strecke geht schaue ich noch kurz in der örtlichen kleinen Markthalle vorbei. Wie auch in Vila Nova de Milfontes sind hier Obst-, Gemüse - und Fischstände beieinander. Ein Fest für die Sinne an Farben und Gerüchen.

      Der Weg zur Küste führt lange durch eine Macchia Ebene, bis es dann etwas abwechslungsreicher wird und sich der Laufrhythmus wieder auf rauf und runter, Sand, Kies und Geröll einstellen muss.

      Das Cap Sao Vicente spare ich mir. Der Wanderweg dorthin führt direkt an der schnurgeraden breiten Fahrstraße entlang, wo heute zig Autos und Busse entlangbrausen. Der Leuchtturm ist aktuell geschlossen und auf eine Currywurst hatte ich eh keinen Appetit.

      Stattdessen öffnen sich überraschend die Himmelsschleusen und ich werde kurz aber heftig ziemlich durchnässt. Und kalt ist es auch. So komme ich also in den "Genuß" meines ersten wirklichen Touri-Restaurantes. Groß, laut, teuer und nur eine Toilette. Aber der Service ist nett. Und nach 40 Minuten breche ich umgezogen und etwas aufgewärmt zur Restetappe auf.
