Time for another adventure
26 kwietnia 2023, Kanada ⋅ 🌧 1 °C
September 2022 - I get a call from the kid - “Mom! Flights to Lisbon for less than $500 return - we have to go!” And that where it all began….
Bailey booked her flight with that amazing flight deal (oh to be young and have a job where you can work from anywhere in the world!), but Kev and I dawdled and procrastinated and by the time we were ready to commit our flights were definitely a bit pricier 😝
But we did finally make our plans and here we were ready to embark on our second trip across the pond in less than a year. Czytaj więcej

YYZ and away!
26 kwietnia 2023, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Off to YYZ we went. Splurged for valet parking (hoping they keep my baby safe and sound 🤞🏻) We whizzed through security and with lots of time to kill decided to get something to eat - always good to have that final Canadian meal with a cider.
We were delayed leaving TO and were a bit concerned about our connection but figured we weren’t the only ones on the flight connecting to Lisbon 😳 Czytaj więcej

We got our exercise at Charles de Gaulle
27 kwietnia 2023, Francja
Gotta love flying Air France with the complimentary champagne with your meal 🥂
After a delay of about an hour leaving TO we arrived at CDG with about 45 minutes to switch terminals, get through security screening and find our gate - it was a very quick walk but we made it! Czytaj więcej

Lisboa!
27 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We made it! A bit tired but excited to get in to our adventure.
Arriving in Europe is all about balancing the fight between exhaustion and settling your body with the new time. Best way to do that is push through your first day and that’s just what we did.
Full disclosure - this is a bucket list trip for me. I wanted to return to Lisbon to find more Bordalo’s.
Our first night of this trip was a one night stay in the northern part of the city. As we walked from the metro to the hotel I suddenly realized I recognized the area. I had spent time on Google maps and we were right near a Bordalo - but not one I had planned to find!
Our hotel room wasn’t ready so we dropped our bags with the concierge and away we went to explore and keep ourselves awake til evening.
Multiple transit trips, 2 Bordalo’s, a bite to eat and a few other little stops (reminders of our first trip to Lisbon) and then back to the hotel for a bit of pool time before turning in for the night.
Our bite to eat was super affordable - large shawarma and fries for Kev, a made to order pizza for me and 4 favaios drinks was just over 17 euro - amazing! Czytaj więcej

Weekend getaway
28 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia
So we decided that a side trip would enhance our return to Portugal. The Algarve is definitely a famous spot and we decided on 2 days in Lagos, a bit quieter based on reviews than Faro. It’s quite amazing really how easy it is to get around by train and bus in other countries.
A 20 minute walk from the hotel in Lisbon and look who we found at the train station! 😁
Bailey was already in Portugal and decided to connect with us for our visit - making it just that much better!
After an initial 30 minutes of panic (concerned that we missed our train to Lagos) we finally boarded the train to Tunes and then our connection to Lagos. Czytaj więcej

Beaches of Lagos
28 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
We arrived in Lagos about mid afternoon and after some lunch we headed out to see some of the beaches along the coast.
The bucket list included Praia dos Estudantes with the beautiful arched bridge and Praia do Pinhao (because of course pine cones!).
We walked along adjoining beaches and also headed up along the cliff tops with trails connecting the many sets of stairs down to the beaches.
We ended our day with a most amazing dinner of grilled sardines (Bailey stuck to chicken) and a litre of wine! Portuguese house wine is so much better than anything we would get at home - and only 8 euros!! Czytaj więcej

Exploring Lagos
29 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
We dedicated Saturday to exploring the Old Town of Lagos and our planned boat tour out to Ponte da Piedade.
Like so many European cities Lagos has a walled portion of the city that surrounds the original town. So many amazing narrow streets and lanes, you could wander for days. Amazing architecture and the old churches are always awe inspiring.
We made our way towards the marina and off on our boat tour. We visited many caves and grottos along the coast. The action of the waves and weather on the coastline is truly incredible.
We ended our day with another walk across the old town and a stop for a quick game of mini putt!! Always fun when you’re travelling somewhere new 😁
Our sardine dinner the night before had been so amazing (and affordable 😉) we decided to head back to Cantinho do petiscos - definitely a place worth recommending! Czytaj więcej

Wrapping up in Lagos
30 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
As our weekend getaway wound down, we decided to walk along the amazing boardwalk along the top of the cliffs from our hotel to Ponta da Piedade. The infrastructure they’ve placed along the dunes is incredible. I’m sure there is some effort to reduce the erosion but you can still step off and explore the nooks and crannies and enjoy the vista.
Another train ride back to Tunes and on to Lisbon for the afternoon. Czytaj więcej

Back to Lisbon
30 kwietnia 2023, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Bailey really wanted her Franchesina for supper so once we checked in to the hotel we headed out on foot to explore some of the city.
Lisbon is built on seven hills and every day is leg day in Lisbon! Even going down can be a workout!
Along the way to supper we passed by another of my bucket list Bordalo’s 😁
After a yummy Portuguese sandwich smothered in the best cheesy gravy, we headed up around the corner to Pink Street - something that both Bailey and I wanted to experience. It did not disappoint. The street is painted pink and it’s a hotbed for nightlife. We arrived around 8:30 so things were starting but since most places along the street close between 4 and 6 am - we were glad to be missing that!
We stopped for a drink at a spot that had the cutest little tables and chairs (think back to parent/teacher interviews for primary school!) and wouldn’t you know it - it was a bookstore and a bar - how cool!
We didn’t stay out long as we knew we needed our rest to prepare for the biggest day of the trip on Monday - Sintra! Czytaj więcej

Off to Sintra
1 maja 2023, Portugalia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
When planning our trip, everything we read said we should head to the centre of Lisbon and catch the train out to Sintra. Of course there was a Bordalo along the way so I was planning to have us hop off the train do a quick side trip and then catch the next train to finish up the trip to Sintra.
Having Bailey and her Uber app with us though got us thinking that maybe we could do things a bit differently. While a bit more in price, ultimately hiring an Uber to pick us up at the hotel, drive to the Bordalo along the way and on to the train station in Sintra was by far the best decision. I’m sure the Uber driver thought we were nuts when we got excited to find the Bordalo but he was very gracious and patient while we got our photos. Czytaj więcej
