It seems almost surreal to realise that on the 2nd of December last year, ONLY LAST YEAR, my wife and I were enjoying one of the best holidays we’ve had. After leaving the delights of Seville, our favourite stop last year, we took an early morning Ryan Air flight to destination Lisbon, where we would spend a week.
Alfama is a particularly picturesque part of Lisbon, and today I showcase my photos of this very photogenic neighbourhood!

Yes, it's time for another Friday Vlog, and today I'm excited to share my Vlog on Lisbon and a side trip to the mountainous town of Sintra. I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I happened to take a fair bit of footage in Lisbon which helps, and the fact that the city …
