BC Ferries Yam Fries


 Four months, 13 countries, endless love and memories. I cannot believe I’m already writing the last blog of this trip! The time has flown by.


This evening we left London for our last flight of the summer, our flight home to Canada. We spent September 2nd similar to how we spent May 2nd - walking around Hampstead Heath and stopping for feast at Ginger and White Café.

It felt so surreal to be back in London exactly four months after we got here! The seasons had changed, leaves were falling, but the city felt somewhat familiar, comfortable almost.

As we took the tube to the airport I felt nostalgic for our travels already - it’s been such a unique experience.

I won’t lie, I teared up a little bit waving goodbye to London from above.

At least we got some yummy airplane food to soothe our souls… and I’m not even joking! British Airways serve some great dinners.

Our magnificent trip would not have been possible without so many kind family and friends who supported us along the way! To everyone who let us crash on your couch, and showed us around your city, to everyone who hosted us to kindly, thank you.


Travel really brings people together, and I hope one day to pay it back and host our loved ones in our home town.


And as I sit on the plane and write this blog, I can’t help but muse about our next adventure. It may be a while, but the stunning mountains we see over Greenland are just calling for us to visit one day….

And now, against all odds, we made it from landing at the airport to getting on the ferry, all within one hour! So I get to enjoy the lovely sunset and yummy BC Ferries yam fries, while anticipating my mom’s perfect chicken soup waiting for me at home.

It feels good to be rooted in one place again, feels good to be home.

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...
