Ola (or hello) from Lisbon, Portugal! It was a hectic 48 hours before and after getting here, hence apologies for the late newsletter!
It’s been spectacular weather here so far and a fairly chilled out day given we arrived on their Freedom Day holiday. The last week I was looking forward to the trip but then it felt like it suddenly crept up on us given it was the end of Ramadan and then Eid festivities.
It was a whirlwind of packing and organising things so that the cats would be looked after when we were away. Thankfully, I did have the privilege of flying across in business class but even then, I fell asleep yesterday at 4pm and woke up this morning after 15 hours of sleep!
The area around Lisbon is simply gorgeous! It’s been just amazing to walk around and admire the architecture and also enjoy all the Portuguese custard tarts.
Overall, it’s been just great to be away and then off the working brain even though work emails and requests don’t show any sign of stopping.
