    Lisbon: The Second Time Around

    Byemfletche October 12, 2024November 5, 2024

    Lisbon captured our hearts for the second time – although this time was thankfully much drier! We got to stroll along the riverfront, take in sunset views from the miradouros and tackle the many stairways of Lisbon without being encumbered by raincoats and umbrellas. Is there enough left to do to return for Lisbon Part 3? I think there just might be…

So what IS a Brummie?

Welcome to my World!

Alright bab?

I’m Emmalene, a forty-something born and bred Brummie. Married to Chris. AKA Mr Fletche, taker of photographs, driver abroad and long-suffering travel companion.

I’m a big advocate of eating, drinking and supporting local independent businesses.

But travel is my passion. Simple, easy travel. Here you’ll find how to cram all the sights into a weekend city break. Accidental hikes. Travel fails. Honest rambling travel diaries. Where to find craft beer, gin and street food.

We fit travel around full-time jobs, making the most of weekends, Bank Holidays and maximising those precious annual leave days!

Apart from travel, I love to read books, listen to music, drink gin and visit the theatre.

I always love to hear what you think so please like, comment or share!

Happy travelling…home and abroad!
