A Weekend in Lisbon Part 4 - Tiles, Art and Alleyways

This is the last blog post for Lisbon from this wee trip and really it's just going to be one big photo dump - a colourful photo dump.

Comfortable walking shoes are a must in Lisbon.  I'm sure something arty and beautiful can be found round every corner of this city.

I love the contrast between the traditional tiles and then the contemporary street art.

The LX Factory is a unique little art 'hub' filled with boutiques, cafes and studio spaces.  Great for a wee gander of contemporary art but really I imagine this space would be amazing when there is an event on.  Check out the Ler Devagar bookstore, which is a fantastic store with a cafe and gallery space set in an old printing machine.

A Weekend in Lisbon: Introduction

At the beginning of the year, I searched for 'cheap flights' and once I decided that a cheeky weekend in February meant 'anywhere with some sunshine please' then the top of that list was Lisbon!

So I’ve got a few blog posts coming up about the wee weekend I had in this wonderful city.  So many things to see! So many things to eat! I’m so glad that Lisbon is just a short plane ride so I’m sure that there will be many more wee weekends in Lisboa!

Dubai Vietnam 2017: Hanoi Highlights

This city is an assault on the senses - the noise, the smells, they're overwhelming and without being too dramatic, the 'assault' can be very literal too, I mean the scooter/traffic culture is just absurd! However, for a brief while, this ugly foreigner will happily be assaulted, by the history, the herby food and the hustle and bustle of Hanoi.

We stood here for nearly an hour waiting for the train to go by, so my only tip here is to NOT rely on the train timetables.  If I had the time I would have maybe asked around to see if there was a nearby cafe or pub to hang out in.

Safe to say that I also consumed lots of Pho. So worth it.

Dubai Vietnam 2017: First Stop - Dubai

So I got a little heat sickness on my first day in Dubai, I mean it goes without saying that Dubai is bloody hot but this extravagant pit-stop should be marveled at, at least once in your lifetime.  Enjoy the desert and please stay hydrated :)

Dubai Vietnam 2017

The year has just flown by and I finally got to fit in some traveling time!  This year we decided to go to Vietnam - we went to Hanoi, Halong bay, then Ho Chi Minh City but before we went to Vietnam, we snuck in a cheeky trip to Dubai too.  I'm now busy back at work but I'm going to try and post some things here and there from my amazing trip!

I've got a good few pics up on the instagram already:
