When I galavanted around Portugal my route, again, was: Coimbra Coimbra is really something. Definitely worth a full day here. There is the oldest university in Portugal along with some twisting alleyways and a cool view of the layered town from the bridge.

My complete 12-day Portugal route was: Faro Faro airport to town is not within walking distance but you can catch public transport bus number 16 which costs 2.35, (you purchase from the bus driver using cash). The last stop is the bus station and it is almost in the town centre, from there you can

I wipe away my sweat-stash as I type this. Those of you who nodded your head in understanding, bravo. To the lucky ones who have no idea what that is- it is the perspiration that forms delicately under your nose, which turns into an attractive moustache. Not that any moustache on a lady is attractive

Malta, Malta, Malta. You sly fox, I almost didn’t see you there tucked down near northern Africa. You’re so small, I had sea views from the balcony of my hotel which was situated in the centre of the island. True story. When you first strut up to the capital Valletta you realise that the entire
