It has been a week but I am still in denial that we are back from our Portugal holiday – it was so warm and sunny on the Iberian Peninsula! It was third trip to Portugal and second visit to both Lisbon and to Porto. Speaking of three’s this was Mark and my third attempt at a Portugal holiday – we booked for Easter 2020 and had to cancel due to COVID. The same thing happened for Easter 2021 and I am so happy that third time was the charm for Easter 2022.
Before I share the highlights I do have to note British Airways lost our luggage and since we landed after midnight that made it hard to get dressed for our sailing trip the next morning but I managed to put together this emergency head to toe outfit from H&M – all pieces are linked here. You can see them in the first shot of me below – a 20 week baby bump at Belem Tower in Lisbon – and in other photos from our Portugal holiday. Here are some of my favorites:
Inside the Jeronimos Monastery
The Padrao dos Descobrimentos monument on the Tagus River
The Castelo de Sao Jorge in Lisbon
The original Pastel de Nata at Pasteis de Belem
The view from the top of the Santa Justa Lift and from the bottom at night
Lisbon’s famous yellow trams
Palacio Nacional da Pena (Pena Palace) in Sintra
20 Week Baby Bump at the Pena Palace
The Initiation Well at Quinta da Regaleira, a 16th century UNESCO site in Sintra
Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe
The city of Porto with the Douro River and Dom Luis I Bridge
Bumping outside the Sintra Igreja do Carmo Church in Porto
Port Tasting at the Caves Calem in Porto
Azulejo Tiles at the Sao Bento Train Station in Porto

What a fun trip and you certainly covered a lot of territory especially for a pregnant person.
I guess no surprise there.
My friends are going there in a few months and I just forwarded them your post and I am sure that they will try to hit as many spots you featured as they can.
