Had to go back this morning to do this 🤣

Me doing a handstand under the chapito circus sign, next to a bright blue and yellow door.

@weezmgk it's a bit too heavy for me. Makes my nose bleed 😬
He drinks enough for both of us. Haha

Food was pretty phenomenal.

A long table with a few shared platters of food in the middle. 
There is a plate of cooked prawns; a plate of garlic clams; a colourful salad with sliced octopus, rocket, red and yellow cherry tomatoes; a bowl of crispy fried potato skins with aioli; a plate of grilled chorizo; and a bowl of charred green peppersLarge grilled octopus tentacles sitting on roasted sweet potatoes

How cute is this big top? They also had a restaurant attached to the circus.

A large pointed roof with a red and White circus tent painted on.
In front of the building are a few tables with people dining. Patches of red awning are stretched out over the dining area.

This was yesterday, but we found the local circus. Not-for-profit, community led.

My husband is a Guinness tragic. As is my brother. I am a sucker for Kilkenny 🤷

3 pints. 
3 Guinness. 1 Kilkenny.

These beautiful winding streets

During the day these streets are bustling... But at 730 in the morning, you can catch the soft light and early-risers heading off to work.

An (almost) empty street with a beautiful old building at the end.

One of our favourite things to do when travelling is to watch a city slowly wake up. Location: Lisbon, Portugal

A quiet cobblestone street next to tram lines.
Stone buildings line the walkway to the left and there is a lone, bright red neon light that reads 'BAR'.

@psa maybe not gymnastics, but definitely circus hopefully! 🤞🤞

When in Deutschland...

Two bottles of German beer and a large cheese pretzel on a large yellow table.

Nein. (Currently transiting in Frankfurt)

A bright red trolley has fallen on its side, causing the large bucket of tomato sauce that was sitting on it to break open and spill all over the clean tiled floors. 
A cleaner stands to the side with a mop, a broom and a dustpan.

Leave me alone in an empty apartment long enough... 🤣

Me doing an arm balance on a black stool in the middle of a small open plan living room .

Flying out to Lisbon tonight! Will also be heading down to Porto. Food recs (and other general tips) would be very much appreciated! 💜💜

Obligatory Sg Hokkien mee. Extra pork lard 😬

White oblong melamine plate with fried yellow noodles, a dollop of dark red sambal on one side, topped with crispy cubes of brown pork lard.

More offal.
And very silky kway (rice noodles sheets)

Sorry @kauer 😅
