Portugese man-‘o-flu

Travel update! Caution, may contain traces of plague. I was hoping 2 weeks in the relative warmth would sort out the cough that’s been bugging me for a while. Instead it seems to have joined forces with a European variant to create the ‘Portugese man-‘o-flu’ which is doing its best to kill me using a […]

The Hill of Doom!

Travel update! Apologies for the delay, I know you’ve all been waiting with baited breath since the breakfast photos but it’s been an action packed few days 🙂 On arrival, after a brief falling out with the Lisbon metro system (I thought the tram I wanted should be running, evidently they didn’t but I’m destined never to […]
