While walking around Paris we can across the stunning Luxembourg Park. I actually didn’t know about it or hadn’t seen it online as one of the things to do in Paris. . We were so surprised, it’s an absolutely stunning park so well kept. A perfect spot to walk around and relax. Not crowded, with lots of seating and so picturesque. While exploring around the park we came across The Medici Fountain. It was built around 1630. We loved it, very cool and massive! . How cool is it? 🤩 check my stories for more pics around the park!

Another great spot to check in the Algarve is Vilamoura! It’s a resort area in southern Portugal. Lots of big hotels, stylish bars and stunning yachts, definitely a town more on the luxury side. For us it was perfect for a day trip! . We walked from Quarteira to Vilamoura, it was about a 45 min walk. Vilamoura like i said perfect for a day trip, great to catch a boat tour and grab a drink. . Have you ever visited Vilamoura? Which is your favourite town/city in the Algarve?

Our second day in Paris we knew we had to go check out the Eiffel Tower at night, all lit up! . That Saturday after a full day of exploring we decided to pick up fruit, some sweets and of course wine! Right before leaving the Airbnb to make our way to the Eiffel Tower it started to rain a bit. . I had the genius idea to get big garbage bags to lay them on the grass so that we wouldn’t get wet. Well let’s just say they came super handy!!! We sat, got all ready (wine in hand, shoes off, super comfy) and 5 minutes later it started to rain😒 not just raining a bit but started to pour. We ran to a small sheltered area and waiting for it to stop! It poured for 45 minutes 😧😧! . People started to leave and some were super disappointed because it was their last night there. But you know what? We made the absolute best of it! We had so much fun even sitting under this little shelter with another 20 people. After it stopped raining our bags came in handy and we made ourself comfy again sitting on the grass. That ended up being our favourite memory of Paris. Interesting uh? . Has anything happened along your travels that you can relate? Also, more pics of that night on my stories. Check them out!

Collin and I truly had the most amazing time in Paris! I had an incredible first time and can know see how everyone falls in love with this city. We only had about 2 1/2 days and got the chance to see so much!! The key to that was being out of our Airbnb to start exploring at 7am! . We got to walk around the streets of Paris without the crowds, which was amazing!! Do you like to wake up early to explore? Or do you sleep in while on vacation💤?

Today we arrived in Paris!! We left Malaga on a 7am flight (which means we woke up around 3:45am) and arrived in Paris around 9:15am! It was way too early of a flight, we are currently laying in bed exhausted! Even though we were tired we knew we still wanted to go out and explore Paris! So we did and we had an amazing first day! . We went straight to our Airbnb dropped off our stuff and made our way to the Eiffel Tower! We spent there a good amount of time, sat around the grass and took it all in! We then made our way to Montmartre and then checked out Sacre Coeur! Loving all the cute and charming restaurant and bars, there is something about this city😍 . Have you been to Paris? When was the last time you visited👇🏻?
