June 8, 2024The 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,…- June 7, 2024After 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…
- June 6, 2024Tom 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…
- June 5, 2024We 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…
- June 4, 2024We 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…
- June 3, 2024I 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…
- June 2, 2024We 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…
- June 1, 2024We 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…
- May 31, 2024Since 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…
May 30, 2024This 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…- May 29, 2024I wasn't surprised when I woke up this morning and it was only 6:45. It felt like I had slept a long time, but in reality it was less than 6 hours. Dumb jet lag. Tom was up shortly after me and we got ready to tackle the day. We…
- May 28, 2024Over the past couple of years Tom has been watching a ton of videos and researching Portugal. He has fallen in love with this country before he has even stepped foot in it so when we were deciding where we should go to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, Portugal seemed…
