Boca do Inferno is Portugese for Hell Mouth. Sounds like a nice place to visit, eh? 😉 It’s pretty much a deep chasm where the seawater crashes onto the rocky cliffs, creating striking water shows! I really enjoyed this place, even though it was just a short stop on our pretty packed day tour!

On a Sunday afternoon
Here are some photos of a nice Sunday walk on the beach. I just love breathing in the salty air and feeling the wind on my face. The weather was absolutely beautiful! Add to that great company and a nice breeze, and you have a wonderful day!
And it was all yellow
Just some pretty daisies at the green patch around the Cabo da Roca monument. There were heaps of flowers and it made for a nice, sunny contrast to the muted grey sky. The yellow is so cheerful!
Steep
The view from Cabo da Roca, the westernmost point of continental Europe, was one of the highlights of my Portugal trip. The cliffs are very rugged and steep, and the view is amazing!!For some reason, I found it special to be at the very edge of Europe, and it looking this pretty is a total bonus.

The narrow streets of Sintra
After visiting the Pena Palace, we had some time to explore the small town of Sintra. The narrow streets were filled with people, merchandise, decoration and colour. Such a mish-mash of pretty much everything, which all added to the charm of things. Not that much else to say about this place: we walked some, weContinueContinue reading “The narrow streets of Sintra”
Views from the Afsluitdijk
Last Saturday, we went to Assen to go to the Maya Exhibit at the Drents Museum. This is one of my absolute favourite musea in the country, due to its amazing archaeology collection including the Pesse canoe (oldest boat in the world) and the Yde Girl (Iron Age bog body of a 16-year-old girl). I highly recommendContinueContinue reading “Views from the Afsluitdijk”
