Ideja bija \u013coti vienk\u0101r\u0161a: \u201cMeitenes, mums j\u0101satiekas.\u201d Lai gan ne vienm\u0113r viss notiek p\u0113c pl\u0101na, tas vienm\u0113r ir labs atg\u0101din\u0101jums par to, cik svar\u012bgi ir b\u016bt gatavai pl\u0101nam B, bet \u0161oreiz \u2013 ne par to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Atskatoties uz ce\u013cojumu, dom\u0101ju, ka m\u0113s patie\u0161\u0101m lieliski izpl\u0101noj\u0101m, lai redz\u0113tu p\u0113c iesp\u0113jas vair\u0101k taj\u0101 laik\u0101, kas mums bija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. diena \u2013 Atgriezties Porto un pavad\u012bt pirmo dienu kop\u0101 ar Anniju bija k\u0101 atgriezties paz\u012bstam\u0101, tom\u0113r ma\u0123isk\u0101 viet\u0101. Porto, Portug\u0101les otr\u0101 liel\u0101k\u0101 pils\u0113ta, nevainojami apvieno v\u0113sturisko \u0161armu ar dz\u012bvotsp\u0113ju un dz\u012bvotsp\u0113jas ener\u0123iju. Pils\u0113tas kalnain\u0101 ainava mudina doties izp\u0113t\u0113, un t\u0101s lielisk\u0101s pastaigu iesp\u0113jas ir viena no t\u0101s galvenaj\u0101m priek\u0161roc\u012bb\u0101m. Manas m\u012b\u013c\u0101k\u0101s vietas bija Ribeira rajons \u2013 kr\u0101sainais upes krasts, un ikoniskais Dom Lu\u00eds I tilts, kas pied\u0101v\u0101 apburo\u0161us skatus, it \u012bpa\u0161i saulriet\u0101. Net\u0101lu ir ar\u012b S\u00e3o Bento dzelzce\u013ca stacija, kas ir \u012bsts m\u0101kslas un v\u0113stures paraugs. Porto k\u0101pnes, piem\u0113ram, Escadas do Barredo, izaicina, bet atl\u012bdzina ar pils\u0113tas ikdienas ainav\u0101m. Neatkar\u012bgi no t\u0101, vai k\u0101p aug\u0161up pa \u0161\u012bm k\u0101pn\u0113m, vai nesteidz\u012bgi pastaig\u0101joties pa Cais da Ribeira, katrs mirklis Porto ir piedz\u012bvojums, padarot \u0161o pils\u0113tu ide\u0101lu vietu, lai to izp\u0113t\u012btu. Es pati ce\u013cojot bie\u017ei izv\u0113los nesteidz\u012bgus un mier\u012bgus pl\u0101nus, un \u0161\u012b diena bija lielisks s\u0101kums tam. Run\u0101jot par naktsm\u0101j\u0101m, Lost Inn Porto bija lielisks hostelis, kur pavad\u012bt laiku pirms turpin\u0101j\u0101m ce\u013cojumu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. diena \u2013 M\u016bsu otr\u0101 diena Portug\u0101l\u0113 aizveda Anniju un mani uz Lisabon, kas ir tr\u012bs stundu brauciens no Porto, kur m\u0113s satik\u0101mies ar Gabi. P\u0113c Porto dz\u012bv\u012bg\u0101s ener\u0123ijas un aizraut\u012bbas, Lisabon pied\u0101v\u0101ja l\u0113n\u0101ku, mier\u012bg\u0101ku ritmu \u2013 ide\u0101lu kontrastu pils\u0113tas parastajai dz\u012bvotsp\u0113jai. M\u0113s nevar\u0113j\u0101m attur\u0113ties no k\u0101rdin\u0101juma nogar\u0161ot k\u0101du no pils\u0113tas slavenajiem sangr\u012bjas dz\u0113rieniem, izbaudot t\u0101s atsvaidzino\u0161\u0101s gar\u0161as siltaj\u0101 saul\u0113. Vakars m\u016bs iepaz\u012bstin\u0101ja ar pastel de nata, ikonisko portug\u0101\u013cu kr\u0113ma tartu, kuru pirmo reizi nobaud\u012bj\u0101m Pra\u00e7a do Com\u00e9rcio. M\u016bsu nakts beidz\u0101s S\u00e3o Vicente, vien\u0101 no Lisabonas gleznain\u0101kajiem rajoniem, kur m\u0113s uz\u0146\u0113mu daudz selfijus ar sarkano jumtu un Tahu upi fona. Lisabon senatn\u012bg\u0101 un m\u016bsdien\u012bg\u0101 apvienojums, no senaj\u0101m tramvaja l\u012bnij\u0101m l\u012bdz moderniem b\u0101riem, padar\u012bja to par ide\u0101lu vietu atp\u016btai. Dienu nosl\u0113dz\u0101m ar uztur\u0113\u0161anos d\u012bvain\u0101kaj\u0101 \u201chostel\u012b\u201d, k\u0101du es jebkad esmu pieredz\u0113jusi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3<\/strong> \u2013 This day was divided into two parts. In the morning, we continued exploring Lisbon, soaking up the city\u2019s vibrant atmosphere, wandering through charming old neighborhoods, and admiring colorful architecture. I was pleasantly surprised by beautiful spots like Calle Rosa de Lisboa and Lisbon\u2019s famous traditional funiculars. The best way to experience the city is to simply walk around and soak in its magic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon and most exciting part of the day took us to Cascais. This charming coastal town, just a short train ride from Lisbon, is known for its stunning beaches, historic sites, and laid-back vibe. Once a sleepy fishing village, Cascais has become a popular retreat, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. We explored the scenic coastline with its golden sands and crystal-clear waters and wandered through cobblestone streets filled with shops, cafes, and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4<\/strong> \u2013 Cascais is, without a doubt, the most charming city I\u2019ve visited in Portugal so far. It provided the perfect blend of relaxation and fun that we needed. I absolutely loved our Airbnb, and the time spent with the girls\u2014enjoying lunch, singing along to Mamma Mia, sharing laughs, and even a few tears\u2014made it all the more special. Cascais is the ideal destination for anyone looking for a laid-back atmosphere, beachy vibes, and undeniable beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5<\/strong> \u2013 The day began with packing up and heading to our next destination\u2014Sintra. Known for its magical palaces and castles, Sintra offers a unique experience unlike anywhere else we\u2019ve visited. The highlight is the Pena Palace, a fairy-tale-like castle perched atop the hills, surrounded by lush gardens and offering breathtaking views. The palace\u2019s rich history, intricate architecture, and blend of different styles make it a true marvel. Exploring Sintra felt like stepping into a different world, with every corner revealing a piece of Portugal\u2019s storied past. If you plan to visit the palace, be sure to book tickets in advance, as it\u2019s often crowded with travelers. My biggest surprise was the hostel where we stayed, Casa Azul Hostel. It was the best hostel experience I\u2019ve ever had\u2014spotlessly clean, with a fantastic host and wonderful new friends we chatted with all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 6<\/strong> \u2013 We headed to our final city, Aveiro. Often referred to as the \u201cVenice of Portugal,\u201d Aveiro is famous for its charming canals and colorful moliceiro boats. Along the way, we decided to try our luck with hitchhiking to the beach, adding a touch of adventure to our journey. We were fortunate to get a lift from friendly locals who gladly shared their ride with us. The beach was a refreshing break, where we enjoyed the sea breeze and explored unique coastal homes, from quaint cottages to vibrant, traditional houses. This spontaneous detour made our arrival in Aveiro even more memorable. The last night together was the perfect end to our trip with the girls, and we slowly made our way back to where it all began\u2014Porto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, the trip was only halfway through, as I then conutinued with a spontaneous trip to Madrid, Spain, followed by visits to Pescara and Florence, Italy, to see both of my girls again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With each of these experiences, I\u2019m learning to live more freely, savor the moments, and embrace new adventures along the way. Summer started off wonderfully, and I hope every future experience will be just as meaningful as this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
