Well how best to round off two weeks of outdoors adventure? Why, with a mini city break of course! The perfect way to ease ourselves back into the hectic London lifestyle after our fresh air overload. Portugal offers several exciting cities, however given that we had already been to Lisbon this year; Porto was clearly the obvious choice.
And to polish off the trip we had a lovely little jaunt into one of the sweetest cities I’ve ever seen. Also very hilly, really good for those calves again… Part 3: Porto
The fantastic thing about a three part trip is that it feels like three separate holidays, after two and a bit weeks away I’ve felt like I’ve managed to squeeze in a whole years worth of travel. Three places, three very different experiences have become stand-alone events in my mind that I remember as distinctly as though they were years apart.
My calves are still sore from doing that fucking hike… Worth it for the view though. Plus I don’t think I’ve ever stayed somewhere with a more dramatic sunset.
Yet again, here I sit, back in London, a nice olive glow warming my skin as I tap away at my work computer and serving as a healthy reminder f the excitement I’ve had over the past few weeks. Strangely it doesn’t feel so bad being back, having experienced what I did during what was one of the better holidays of my life.
Volcanoes and hot spas and realising how unfit I am… Part 1: The Azores.
