Sagres – The Edge of the World

Sagres – The Edge of the World

So after a couple days of…”recovering”, Jon and I decided to get up early (crack of noon) and rent some scooters. My brother suggested we check out Sagres which is 33 km out of Lagos. For some reason Jon’s bike went twice as fast as mine (I had her up to 45 km/h…downhill!) so it was a long and slow ride out but was well worth it. The view and weather was amazing. We drove our hogs up to the edge and took it all in. Made me think about Columbus when he rode his scooter to the edge of the world and wondered if it was indeed flat.

Were celebrating Jon’s birthday tomorrow. Humiliating pictures to follow.

The Best Restaurants in Cartagena, Colombia: What and Where to Eat on a Budget

Image
During our month in Colombia, we were blown away by how good the food in Colombia was.  It took us totally by surprise – Colombia wasn’t the country in South America that we were most looking forward to eating our way through. But it turned out to be our favorite! Colombian food is wildly varied depending on region, and all of it is delicious (you can read all about it in our post on the best Colombian food ). But our favorite food in Colombia is found in Cartagena de las Indias, a colonial Caribbean coastal paradise with a dark history and a flourishing present day. We discovered the best food in Cartagena and ate as much of it as we could at some of the best restaurants in Cartagena – the ones that fit our budget, of course. We had a full 2 weeks to eat our way through Cartagena, but you can take a shortcut by booking a food tour like this one or this one. Here are our tips for what to eat in Cartagena, Colom...

Fantasy Fest: Key West’s Crazy Street Festival

Image
Fantasy Fest in Key West Key West, Florida Want to learn about the best-kept secret for street celebrations in the United States? It’s a wild 10 day costume party in October called Fantasy Fest in Key West, Florida. If I had to describe Fantasy Fest in one sentence, I’d say it’s Burning Man meets Mardi Gras for Halloween on a tropical island. Except in a place where you can also stay in a beautiful B&B surrounded by ancient banyan trees. A place so diverse that gays, bikers, pirates, artists, strippers and entrepreneurs are the norm, living a motto “One Human Family.” A place where you can watch the sun both rise and set over the ocean every day. After knowing about the festival for years living in South Florida, I finally made it down to see what all the hype was about with my blogger friend Steph from Travel-Break.net. Our week was incredibly fun, absurd, and liberating all at once. Need A Place To Stay In Key West? Click here for great accommodati...
