It has been so long since I have blogged. I had my parents visit us and my best friend, Jade. We were so happy to have them stay with us. This last month was one of the best months of my life. We all went on a trip to Portugal and spent time with my family there too.
But before that, while mum was in town, James and I went for a quick trip to London. We stayed at Hilton Park Lane Mayfair. Went to Covent Gardens, Soho, Camden markets, Buckingham Palace etc and shopped at Oxford st and Harrods. It was a blast! Would go back anytime.
We left for Portugal.
My aunt took us to Visit St George Castle Lisbon (Castle de Sao Jorge):
More pictures around Lisbon, Belem, Sintra, Cascais:
So from Lisbon we headed south. This is us... James was in the passenger seat taking all the pictures.
We stopped for a quick break. Yes there are castles everywhere, just like asia has temples etc. We have castles and churches pretty much everywhere.
Then we stay in Evora, a very cute little town. We visited the Bone Chapel among other things.
We then drove to Spain, we got there pretty late and stayed in a town called Huelva. It was quite cold and windy. We ended up walking around the town, having dinner and then bed as we had a big drive to Algarve the next day.
Next stop Algarve. We stayed in Lagos thank you to my Auntie Zita for lending us her apartment. Also, visited a whole lot of cousins. Thank you to them for their hospitality. Such a great time.
From Algarve we drove north for about 1.5hours into a little town called Alcacer do Sal. Which is where I'm from. This is the castle I played in with my friends when I was little. Down below is the town.
We had dinner with my auntie Esmeralda, my uncle, grandmother and Cousin Ana and her beautiful family. Thank you to you all for your hospitality. Will hopefully see you again soon. I don't know how I didn't get any photos to blog. Very sad for that.
We then visited the beaches nearby, pity it wasn't beach weather. It is much prettier in the summer.
Our holidays were coming to an end and we headed back to Lisbon for the airport. But before leaving we stopped into one more cute town, Obidos.
The End
Ps Hope you are still enjoying my travels and adventure. Truly amazing experience living abroad. I must admit with having family and my best friend around it has made me very home sick. Very common feeling I'm sure.
Hope everyone is doing well. Please message me I would love to hear what is going on in your lives. I can be your penpal.
Pps Thank you to James Fawke for all the amazing photos. His a born photographer.
Love Liliana xo
