After an action-packed 8 days in Portugal, Terra and I loved the slower pace of beautiful, peaceful Lagos. I still put in a lot of steps, including 204 vertical steps to get up close and personal with the Ponta da Piedade grotto.

This video covers a lot of ground, as did and I on our adventure in Portugal! You’ll see some of the off-season wave action in Nazare, the charm and beauty of Obidos, the magic of Cascais and Sintra, including brunch in a garden overlooking the ocean and the incomparable Peña Palace, and our day in Lisbon.

I’ve been taking my time going through the 1,200 photos I took on my amazing European vacation. This is the first of 3 reels that capture special moments to remember. I hope they inspire you to visit Portugal!

A Spring vacation means I’m getting a later start this year. Fortunately, my hubby with two green thumbs pitched in while I was away and everything is thriving.

When my flight got rescheduled to the following day, it created an opportunity to see another, really cool, part of South Holland with the best guide ever!

Hello from The Netherlands! It’s been a whirlwind few days, so I’m catching up with a post of Terra’s and my final days in Portugal.

After A LOT of action in Porto, Nazare, Obidos, Cascais, Sintra and Lisbon, we slowed things down in Lagos. The coastline and beaches in the Algarve are breathtaking!

Terra and I began planning this trip over a year ago. One of the experiences we looked forward to was a catamaran ride into the Benagil Caves. Sadly, the seas didn’t want us to see the caves this time around and our excursion was cancelled. Disappointing, yes. Devastating, no. We were surrounded by natural beauty on land.

I’d also booked a surprise boat trip for us to see the Grotto in Ponta Da Piedade. That trip was also cancelled due to unsafe waters. So, we trekked the boardwalk and I descended 204 steps to get to the Grotto from the shore. Spectacular!

On our last day, we took it easy at the fabulous Belmar Resort and Spa, where we had a large, beautiful apartment complete a full-sized bathroom for each of us. It was a step up from previous accommodations and a wonderful way to finish our trip together.

Terra’s home safe and sound and I’m enjoying time with Marco and Murray in their lovely home in Waalwijk after hitting the highlights in Amsterdam with the most excellent guide ever.

Photos from Amsterdam will come tomorrow, when I’ll be waiting to board my flight home to Barry and Rachel.

Lisbon was a fast-paced day of touring the city on foot and on a bus tour. I loved walking through the square and the Rodeo Drive of this cosmopolitan city. The best surprise was the 10th annual Motorcycle Movie Festival in the cinema right next to our BnB! Bikes from everywhere growled all night long!

Sintra was like stepping into a fairy tale. The Pena Palace is really special, with so much colour and life. The grounds are exquisite and spiritually centering.

I’m loving the diversity of thrills and calm on our vacation.

Today, we did a guided tour of Cascais, including the Devil’s Mouth, then visited the western-most point of Europe and a very special restaurant in a garden with a spectacular ocean view.

Yesterday we went to Nazare, home of the largest recorded waves in the world! We didn’t see the waves that touch the sky, like in the photo of a photo posted here, but it was magical to be there. Last night we arrived in Obidos, where we had our best authentic Portuguese meal yet. More amazing adventures to come!

Yesterday was packed with touristy bliss in Porto, capped off by the spectacular light and music show at a church!
