An afternoon at Amelia's

Hello, my lovely readers, I know I said I was coming back, but once again life gets in the way. 

But today I bring you guys a small but sweet post. Last weekend I went to this lovely place in Lisbon called Amelia (funny fact, that's my grandmother's name!). I went with my sister and we had a lovely brunch. 

The place is very beautiful and cozy, and besides being super full, we still got a table very quickly because we were just 2 people, so if you don't have made a reservation in advance, don't go with too many people. The food was also great, we had some yogurt with fruit and granola, avocado toast, hot chocolate, and orange juice, it was enough for two!

I will leave here the Facebook of Amelia's so that you guys can check it out and maybe go there for a little brunch!

The first beach day

The first beach day

[EN] The hot Summer days are finally upon us, and last week was my first beach day! The sun was shinning, the water was great, the company was the best, and not even a little wind could take us down. This was also the first time I wore a one piece at the beach and I was a bit self conscious at first, but after a while I realized that no one was actually looking and I could also see a few people looking really nice with their one pieces too.

After that first shock I was able to relax and enjoy a great afternoon at the beach with my boyfriend and friends. And now I can't wait to go back to the beach with my awesome one piece! I feel in my hearth that this Summer will be amazing !

[PT] Os dias quentes de Verão finalmente chegaram, e a semana passada foi o meu primeiro dia de praia! O sol brilhava, a agua estava mesmo fantástica, a companhia foi a melhor. e nem mesmo um pouco de vento podia nos estragar o dia. Também foi a primeira vez que usei o meu fato de banho na praia, e confesso que estava um pouco nervosa e um bocado constrangida de inicio, mas após umas horas comecei a aperceber-me que na verdade ninguém me estava a olhar e que ate podia ver outras raparigas com fatos de banho parecido e elas estavam fantásticas.

Após esse primeiro choque consegui relaxar e aproveitar aquela bela tarde na praia com o meu namorado e com os nossos amigos. E agora mal posso esperar por voltar a praia com o meu fato de banho ! Acredito que este ano vai ser o melhor Verão de sempre !

[EN] The weekend after my birthday I went on a little weekend trip with my boyfriend. We had such a great time, we had nothing on the agenda so we just did what we liked! We stayed at the Saboia Estoril Hotel, and it was an amazing stay. The hotel has a breakfast area, pool, gym, library, bar, and I pretty sure that soon will have a Jacuzzi. It was very well located, very close to the ocean and with very nice views. The price was also very affordable and we were able to enjoy the pool every day!

There are so many places to eat around that area, some a bit expensive, yes, but you can take the train or, my favorite option, walk to Cascais. You can walk from Estoril to Cascais always right next to the ocean, is incredible and so beautiful!

[PT] No fim de semana depois dos meus anos, fui numa pequena viagem de fim de semana com o meu namorado. Foram uns dias fantásticos, sem qualquer tipo de programação, simplesmente fizemos aquilo que nos apetecia fazer na altura. Ficamos no hotel Saboia Estoril, e foi uma estadia mesmo fantástica. O hotel tem uma zona de pequenos almoços, piscina exterior, ginásio, uma pequena biblioteca, bar, e muito em breve jacuzzi! O hotel fica numa zona fantástica, bastante perto do mar e con vistas muito bonitas. O preço foi também bastante aceitável, e conseguimos aproveitar a piscina todos os dias.

Existem imensos restaurantes onde comer naquela zona, mas alguns acreditem que são bem caros, mas podem sempre apanhar o comboio, ou o meu preferido, ir a pé ate Cascais. Podem is a pé desde o Monte de Estoril ate Cascais, sempre junto ao mar, é uma caminhada fantástica.

Another Sunday, another afternoon of joy, fun and exploring. These are the best days, the best Sunday. Spending time like this with my boyfriend is such a pleasure for me. Last Sunday we went to Belém because my dear boyfriend wanted to buy some Pasteis de Belém, but unfortunately the queue was quite long as usual, so we just decided to enjoy the day by walking around Belém.
