IanGood evening! Welcome to Day 3. Today was pretty much wiped out by the terrible weather in Portugal, to the point where there are weather warnings for rain and wind! We did try to make the most of it though!
As you can see above, it was VERY wet! But that didn’t stop us! We managed to get out and do another walk around this time going in a different direction. We wanted to go and see a church in Estroli, unfortunately, when we got there it was closed so we couldn’t go in and have a look around much to my best friend’s disappointment!
Next up we decided we wanted to explore a bit more, it was getting toward lunchtime so we decided we wanted to walk to McDonald’s turns out that was a bad idea! It was over 1.5 miles away and I was exhausted! My best friend somehow had energy to spare god knows where she got that from!!
The McDonalds out here were very similar to ours in the UK however they have this weird cafe bit next to the serving station! Anyway, I had something called a Big Arch which was really nice, my best friend had a veggie burger and she said it was very nice! Here is what the food looked like!
After I had recovered from the monster walk, we headed to the supermarket next to the McDonalds to get some last-minute stuff to take home it looked bigger than it was!
Once we had done that it was time for the mammoth walk back! My best friend kept me on my toes that is for sure, but it was worth it! They do have some cool things around such as this statue on the roundabout which I think is the royal family in Portugal! Correct me if I am wrong.
With that done we grabbed dinner and headed back to the hotel. Today was my last full day in Portugal as tomorrow we head home. We don’t have a super early flight which is good, our flight leaves at 1215 so should get back to the UK around 1500 roughly depending on conditions. Here is my bag packed to head home:
Overall, I have had an awesome breakaway with my best friend. With everything going on in my life at the moment it was nice just to take a step back and explore new places! Tomorrow, I will be blogging our travel home and will do a mini-review of what we thought overall so join me tomorrow, for the concluding chapter on my trip to Portugal in 2025!
