Itinerário em Montenegro: Sveti Stefan, Cetinje e a chegada a Kotor

Rain soaked most of our second day in Montenegro, so it wasn’t the highlight of the trip. Still, we visited Sveti Stefan, Praskvica Monastery, and Cetinje, and tackled the winding Kotor serpentine to see why it’s such a challenge. All the details from Bar to Kotor are now up.

A ruínas da cidade velha de Stari Bar e chegada a Bar

After leaving Lake Skadar, we explored the amazingly well‑preserved ruins of Stari Bar — genuinely stunning. Then came the chaos: a coffee shop encounter with a slightly unhinged, very rude pomegranate super‑fan who took Montenegrin fruit way too seriously. We wrapped the day with check‑in at our place in Bar, the cheapest stay of the whole trip. All the details now available!

Montenegro

Montenegro was the last country we got to tick off our list in 2025 — and what a first visit it was!

Blenheim Palace, a casa onde nasceu Winston Churchill

Blenheim Palace is the birthplace of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who was born here in 1874. However, the story of this place begins much earlier, in 1701, when John Churchill led the victory over the French army at the Battle of Blenheim. In 2025, 75 years after opening its doors to the public, we came to visit this beautiful property. All the details are available in this post.

Um dia na cidade de Leeds

The last day of our road trip was spent in Leeds. After five days exploring Norfolk, the North Yorkshire coast, and the national park, it was time to add some culture to our journey. We spent the day visiting museums. learning about the city’s history, and enjoying culinary treats. The day ended on a spectacular note—the Deep Purple concert at the First Direct Arena.

As December arrives, it’s the perfect time to visit to a Christmas market.
