🥰Happy #TravelTuesday🏩 friends ! . 💁‍♀️I'm back again with another amazing GEM from the beautiful region of @centerofportugal . !#mediapartner #tomar #aquedutodospegões #presstour #centerofportugal . ⛰️AQUEDUTO DOS PEGOES is a historical wonder just outside the city of TOMAR ⛰️ A MUST SEE !😍 . 💁‍♀️The aqueduct was built in 1953 by Filipe I & is 6km long😮😮😮 . ⛰️It was originally constructed to supply the famous monastery " CONVENTO de CRISTO with water ... . ⛰️Later it would reinforce water supply for city of Tomar - the aqueduct was in use until the mid eighties! . 💁‍♀️It was epic to experience a view high on top of the duct !!! . ⛰️Our tour guide Joao said he did walk the entire length on top of it : WOULD YOU walk the aqueduct ⁉️⁉️I was chicken !!🐔🤣 .

💁‍♀️Hey, hey friends Welcome to OBIDOS !

And we had a super fun time @licordeginja doing a cherry liqueur tasting - with Andre the manager ! . 🌺Put OBIDOS on your list : it's popular so arrive early & check out all the fun seasonal festivals 🕍 on the @centerofportugal website ! . 💁‍♀️Thanks to our amazing tour guide ILDA for showing I and my daughter @ashlin_hansen : all the unique spots of this city ! . 💁‍♀️SWIPE RIGHT to see more stunning scenery !!!Have you heard of Obidos ⁉️( city guide coming soon on the blog ) . . . . . . . #portugaltour #portugal🇵🇹 #visitportugal #presstour #presstrip #travelportugal #portugaltravel #obidosportugal #portugalcastles #portugalfortress #followmetoportugal #followmetotravel

💁‍♀️Just returned from our press trip to Portugal with a stopover in France ... . 💁‍♀️PARIS : 🔹The GOOD : the amazing & iconic landmarks like the "LOUVRE" etc , the endless shopping & food ... . 🔹The BAD : too crowded , lotsa rude & unhelpful peeps... . 🔹The UGLY: pick-pockets are rampant & my new iPhone 14 pro was stolen right out of my purse in the crosswalk & I was so careful ! . ☹️This left a bad taste for me about Paris : time will tell if I go back - I am always up front about places I visit & don't sugar coat anything :) . 💁‍♀️If you visit I suggest using a crossbody sling backpack thing that sits flat up high In front - not a crossbody bag ...I learned a huge lesson !😓 . ❓Have you been to the Louvre ? It was quite amazing !🥰 . . . . . . . #parisfrance #francetravel #francetraveller #louvre #louvremuseum #paristrip #visitparis #paristravel #travelparis #summertravel #travel2023 #traveltips #travelover40 #travelover50 #travelwriters #travelinfluencer #traveladvisor #letsgotravel #followmeto #followmetotravel #seattleblogger #vegasblogger #vegasinfluencer
