The view from the top of the tower.
The singing scouts in the square
Seeing the other aeroplane whizz past out the window.

Wandering the windy streets of Lisbon.
The peaceful lunch of veggie tapas on the hill.
Fado music at dinner. With the delicious deserts. A tasty last night in Portugal.

The aquarium. The dragon fish. The otter. The manta rays. The sting rays. The Japanese aquarium.
The afternoon of deserts – ice cream, strawberries, bread of god, pistachio thing, meringue cake, key lime pie AND a chocolate thing. Plus a cocktail and some sangria.
Beautiful beautiful Lisbon.

A day on the beach at Comporta
The amazing stalks, nesting everywhere. And the birds diving into the sea to fish.

Fruit for breakfast and then vegetables! On a beautiful vegan rooftop café in Cascais.
Car daydreams
Palace de Pena. With the chocolate tart thing. And Ciaran stealing more Instagram photos.

Dobble with Hannah Alec and Ciaran. I got very excited. SPENCIL!
Free port and sweet things at dinner.
The walk to and from the castle on the hill. The touch.

The amazing brunch. Three courses in a perfect, perfect place. Even the toilets were great.
Ciaran: ‘From the inside’
Looking out over all of Porto, the beautiful terracotta roofs and colourful buildings.

Portugal! We’re in Porto and it’s brilliant and beautiful and sunny and I got really drunk and danced to Latino music.
Ciaran and the tiny spoon.
Alec and the tiny part of him.
