Ice cream cake

 


Our chill vacation days in Poland continue! 

We left Supraśl a few days ago to come back to Sopot. Just before leaving we had a beautiful family walk at the Silvarium Forest Garden. This is a meadow full of cool rocks, bridges, and little lakes.

The day after we got back was August 13th… my birthday! I got to spend the beautiful sunny day with my mom, grandma, and Liam. 

First, Liam and I went for a birthday walk, stopping for a birthday coffee. We walked along the waterfront path through the forest, and then came back along the beach. 

Delicious birthday coffee

…and walking back on the beach

Walking back along the beach we saw a beautiful fluffy bundle of joy… a 10-week old cockapoo! I’m absolutely in love and I wanted to take him home. 

I want to take him home!!!

For birthday dinner, we went to Falo, a restaurant just off the beach. First, I had herring with tomatoes on bread, and for my main course I tried catfish! Everything was very good :)

For dessert, we came home for some ice cream cake!

De-frosting the ice cream birthday cake!

Since it’s me and I love walking, after dessert Liam and I went out again to see the sunset on the beach.

Now we’re back at the lake cabin, enjoying the peace and quiet before we leave the EU.

Pastel De Nata

We had an absolutely stunning day today! Although we spent about 3 hours driving from Lagos to Sintra on Portuguese tolled highways, our time in both those cities was incredible. We had a fantastic breakfast spread in our hotel today, and we we spent about 45 minutes tasting Portuguese delicacies, including tomato and pumpkin jams, honey fresh from the comb, and many breads and baked goods. Delicious breakfast We were now fueled to take a walk on the beautiful boardwalk in Lagos. We walked along the Atlantic towards the Ponta da Piedade, a rocky outcrop where a small lighthouse stands. The water was a gorgeous blue, the sandstone cliffs a calm beige, and the weather was on our side gracing us with a nice cool breeze.  Gorgeous cliffside Made it to the end of the boardwalk! This is definitely a place we’ll have to return to…I would love to do a kayak trip along the coastline and explore the beautiful rock formations from below.

Francesinhas & Port Wine

 Today was our first full day in the city of Porto! The name Portugal actually originates from the name of this city. We arrived here yesterday afternoon after a pretty miserable travel day, but the taste of port wine helped us forget about late busses, lost things, and exorbitant ATM fees. Port wine originates in Porto, but was actually invented by the British as a way to help wine survive the journey from Portugal to England. This fortified wine comes in several varieties. The main two are “Ruby” and “Tawny”. Ruby is generally more fruity and has a more vibrant colour, whereas tawny is aged in oak barrels and is more nutty and honey tasting. We both enjoyed the tawny more than the ruby. Sampling white, ruby, tawny, and reserve port wines This morning we took a “free” walking tour through the old city of Porto. Our guide told us many interesting tidbits about Portuguese history and society.  The city has many beautiful buildings, but also lots of construction everywhere ...

Home cooked meals

 Our time in Cockermouth was spent relaxing and recuperating from a busy few weeks. We were able to stay with the grandmother of one of my friends so we were wonderfully taken care of :) On our first day we slept in and then did a little walk up to Watch Hill, a local walking route. This path takes you right through sheep grazing fields! It was quite fun to see all the sheep up close as you walk through their home. Generally they’re very calm, although a few did stare us down as we walked by.  Walking through the fields Relaxing sheep Mama and her babies Views from our walk In the afternoon, we explored a bit of the town centre. Most shops were closed as it was a Sunday, but we could still appreciate the lovely architecture. It was still warm today so there were quite a few people bathing in the River Cocker, enjoying their time off. Interestingly, the River Cocker’s name comes from a Celtic word which means “the crooked one”. The River Cocker Cute little houses Kirk in the ce...
