    We set the alarm for 1:30, but we were both up before it went off. I think we both were afraid of oversleeping and did that thing where you wake up every couple of hours to check the clock to make sure you're not late. We had gone to bed…

    Since we went to bed so early last night we both were awake super early as well. That's ok though because there was lots we wanted to do this morning before we drove back to Porto. After getting the blog updated and getting packed up we headed down to the…

    I was looking forward to having a down day and didn't set an alarm and got up after 8:00. We decided that we would go and explore the town and have lunch before I would go out for "me" time. We first stopped at the other big beach in Lagos.…

    We had set the alarm for 7:00, but I think we were both awakened by the refrigerator that was running super loud in our room at 6:30. I definitely did not sleep as well as I had the night before. We got out the door by 8:20 and made it…

    We didn't have any set plans for the day so we didn't set an alarm. It was nice to sleep in a little bit and I think we woke up around 8:00. For breakfast I hard boiled the eggs I bought at the supermarket and we also shared the croissant…

    So last night we went out to see what the Lisbon night life scene looked like. We headed out around 10:30 and the streets were already jumping with people. We were staying on one of the party streets so right out the door we were being asked if we wanted…

    The alarm went off at 6:15 and we both agreed that we had gotten a better night of sleep. We stopped at a bakery for a croissant on our way to our meeting place in Praça da Figueira square for our tour to the city of Sintra. Our tour guide,…

    After having a great night's sleep the night before, we both had a different opinion of last night's sleep. I don't think either one of us slept well and we both woke up a little tired and cranky. We got out the door by 9:00 and went to the ruins…

    Tom was up at 7:30 after the best night of sleep he's had since we've been here. He let me sleep in and woke me up at 9:30. I couldn't believe how late it was! I guess I really needed the sleep too. We got ready and headed out to…

    We set the alarm for 7:30, but I didn't actually start moving until 8:00. This was the first bed Tom didn't sleep very well on. Our hotel stay included breakfast and it was quite the spread! I do really enjoy a European style breakfast . . . ham, cheese, boiled…

    We set the alarm for 7:30 and between that, and the dog that wouldn't stop barking we were awake. We got ready and re-packed all of our things and were out the door by 9:30. We decided to haul all our stuff in one trip up the hill to our…

    I was looking forward to the down day today and definitely did not set an alarm, however Tom woke up early and told me that he was going for a walk. I rolled over and went back to sleep. I think I got moving around 9:00 and Tom came back…
