A few snaps from a family trip to the Algarve

Happy Sunday to you all around the globe!

I thought I would share a few pictures from a Portugal trip I’m on with my humble little family. Wearing my ultra reliable GMT 116710LN which long story short was my first ever Rolex which I sold pre-kids and always regretted. Had some lovely references before my twin boys arrived but as they say ‘needs must’ and we ‘needed’ a house

That’s my waffling over here’s some pictures as promised, I hope you enjoy them friends

Great place to travel to. Just watch that undertow after pastel nadas and a couple Super Bock minis.

Have fun!

Being Portuguese, I noticed the Cara-Pow (sp) and the pashteys deNata Love Algarve! We have a vacation house right on the ocean, and the maid lives there while we are away.

Love Sagres, one of my favourite places in Europe.
Also spent some time in Tavira and Olhos de Agua, very recommendable as they are not super touristy, at least in the winter

Be very welcome to my country!.
If you have the time, venture into Alentejo, coast or interior. Great food and better wine.
