Coping with public and private transport since 2001
And yet again, after a rather weird 2020, 2021 was not much different either. This year 2021: No additions to our family Still the two ceiling lamps to go… 100% WFH (with the ULTIMATE one-cable setup!) Weight equilibrium even without much sports going on, so I’ve got that going for me. Let’s hope we can start doing more things soon!

To say 2020 has been an interesting year is quite the understatement. 2020 has know it’s fair share of highs and lows for me. Not only has it been the first time in my life I’ve lived through a global pandemic, it also was the year our second child was born. Both are guaranteeing quite some impact on our lives,

The avid reader might’ve noticed the distinct lack of photos and holiday posts on this blog, which is the result of us getting our new house and moving in. This meant that we

The day you leave is always a little weird, as it usually consists of waiting to be able to travel, and the travelling itself is also more waiting. We had definitely anticipated this, so we went out to our favourite beach at Praia dos Moinhos to spent the time waiting a little more comfortable. We were not allowed a late

Today, I wasn’t feeling well and we decided to just relax and visit Ponta Delgada again. The weather was absolutely perfect for this as the humidity dropped to much more tolerable levels and the temperature decreased a little to about 24 degrees. After this, we spent the day at and around our apartment, both in the pool and at the

Today is gearing up to be equally hot and humid as yesterday, but the forecast promises us the clouds will be lifting later in the day, so we hope for the best and embark on the trip West to revisit Sete Cidades. Hopefully without a cloudy cover, but with blue patches to show off the amazing colour of the lakes!

As São Miguel is right in the middle of the ocean, its weather is heavily influenced by the vast amounts of water surrounding it, and today was no difference. With a sweltering 26 degrees Celsius, heavy overcast and near 100% humidity it wasn’t the best day to do lots of active things, so we decided to go sightseeing around the

Today we decided to visit the main city on our island, Ponta Delgada. The last time we tried to we couldn’t park our car anywhere because of Portugal Day, but since it is a weekday today (Wednesday to be precise) we shouldn’t have any issues. Ponta Delgada is about 20 minutes drive away from our apartment, and is on the

When we were at Furnas last time, we heard about a meal being prepared inside a hole in an area with fumaroles. And we even got to see such a meal being inserted in such a hole, and one being lifted out from a hole while at Lagoa Furnas. So yesterday we made reservations for a lunch at Tony’s Restaurant

Today is Monday and also the day after Portugal Day, so the island is a little more sleepy than usual. We’ve heard the festivities until late last night, so we feel a little for all the people who need to be up and about for work today. We have an early start as we are expected to report at the
