An Adventure in Sintra, Portugal – In Photographs (Part One)

By Malavika

My friend Kat and I decided to go on adventure at the end of the semester. The first question was – where? My first choice was Bosnia and Herzegovina, as I had a very specific image in my heart of where I needed to be. But we eventually chose Portugal (Don’t worry B & H, you’re next!). I was craving nature, mountains, trees, green, grass and Kat loves the sunshine. Kat discovered the city of Sintra, about 45 minutes outside of Lisbon. I would like to share some (okay, a LOT) of photographs from our adventures in Portugal.

It’s mostly images, not so much writing. I think the photographs speak for themselves.

Have you been to Portugal before, or are there any readers who are from this gorgeous country?

We stayed at this gorgeous hotel – The Sintra Boutique Hotel. I would recommend this hotel. It is beautifully decorated, and the staff are wonderful.

This was right before I got moss all over my white jeans. With great pants, come great responsibility.

Me: Nature! Why you gotta be this way? Why you hate me?

Kat: (Very calmly) Maybe Nature doesn’t hate you. Maybe this is just nature embracing you.

And while we walked to the castle, we sang along to this:

And now you can sing along too, because the lyrics are up there too!

Yep, I definitely got my nature fix.
