The Red Arrows flying over Crow Park | Keswick
Office work was on pause for 10 minutes yesterday, so we could catch a glimpse of these talented pilots. What a backdrop too!

Day 2 of Max’s walk along the wild algarve coastline.
Rota Vicentina Trail - Portugal.
#Rotavicentinatrail
Our Max has gone to Portugal by train, via Barcelona (more on that journey later). He’s just set off the Rota Vicentina Trail, on Portugal’s beautiful west coast.
He’ll be sending daily updates and can answer your questions about the trail on his return.

Final afternoon on São Miguel - A natural pool of thermal water. Better than any spa, though there is one right next to it, if you want to treat yourself.
This is a good place to visit if you’re in Sete Cidades as it’s just a 17 minute drive from the viewpoint over the twin lakes (or, more accurately, a single lake that appears as two pools: one green, one blue).

A gorgeous coastal route, about a half-day if you’re with children and a pool to cool down in half way.
We got very hot in the late afternoon sun and the children were flagging, so it’s worth leaving early morning (we didn’t) to get the cooler part of the day.
A really great walk; lots of up and down, walking through greenery and some walking along some peaceful rural roads. This is a quiet part of the island (North Eastern end), a lesser known spot for tourists!

Coastal pools all over the place. When the sun comes out, head to the water!

Day 5 - Horse Riding at a lovely 500 year old farm, once’s used for potatoes and dairy and now converted into a stables.
It’s been running as a centre for horse riding for 25 years and the horses are clearly healthy and well looked after.
The stables are gorgeous, surrounded by greenery (particularly bananas) and alive with the sound of birds. We’re complete beginners so just went out for an hour but there are many longer trails you can take.

Day 3 (part one) - Coasteering 🌊
Most don’t know what coasteering is but if you like the ocean and adventurous activities, I guarantee you’ll love it!
The experienced team of instructors adaptedthe session to fit the group, the swell, and the weather. They knew the mood of the sea, where it would ebb and flow, where it was safe to jump in and how to make it fun!
We had a blast!

This is the best place for a family holiday. The longer we’re here, the more we love it. Everyone here is so welcoming. They love the island, they love kids and they’re keen for us to find the best spots around!
I already want to come back. This is just one island out of 9 and there are so many things we want to do still!

Terra Nostra Botanical Gardens and thermal pools.
Day 2 - Whale watching boat tour, with our excellent tour guide Becky. She told us so many amazing things about these wonderful creatures of the ocean.

Crisp sunny days ☀️ and breaks with Mountain View’s.
A spotlight on SANTO ANTAO | CAPE VERDE ☀️
One of the quieter islands of Cape Verde, rugged and rural. They produce sugar cane, yams, cassava, bananas, mango, papaya and grain.
Try some local ‘grog’, made out of sugar cane. You need a strong constitution to consume this drink!
