    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…

    We didn't set an alarm this morning and it felt good to sleep in. When I looked at the clock it was 8:20. We took our time getting ready and got out of the BnB just after 10:30. There wasn't anything left on our list for Aviero so we headed…

    We wanted to be out the door by 8:30 this morning, so we set an alarm that went off way too quickly for me as I had gone to bed after 1:00 a.m. We made our goal time and walked down the block to a less congested area to order…

    Since we didn't have any specific plans for the day we didn't set an alarm. It felt good to sleep in and I was surprised when I looked at the time and it was 8:40. We took our time getting ready and enjoy the second ham and cheese thing we…

    This morning we got up and moving early so we would have time to grab a bite to eat and walk to the pick-up location for our Douro Valley wine tour. We discovered the little place we had previously scoped out for breakfast wasn't yet open, so we just walked…
