Anyone that knows me, knows I have a bit of an obsession with Portugal. It being the destination for my first time solo travelling, my first time going to a wedding abroad & having a close friend living there helps!

This time I travelled with friends, had no wedding & did not get to see Fred - but had a great time regardless. Averaging around 10° for the weekend with spots of rain, it was pretty bearable - coming from England at least! I may do a full itinerary and run down of the trip, but for now here are some of my favourite shots from my Olympus Trip 35 film camera on Kodak Gold 200.
