With Lisbon we reached the final destination of the DriveYourLife trip. We couldn't be more happy to stay in our beach house in Costa da Caparica - it's a 30min drive from the city center and therefore the perfect escape from the usual city buzz.
I loved working from the beach, going on long walks and just watching the surfers try to catch the perfect wave. As one of our Uber drivers claimed, there's probably no guy in Costa da Caparica who doesn't surf. Surf 101: Watch out for these nasty riptides and stay in areas where there's lots of whitewash ;)!
One day, we visited Maya and Walter, good friends of Theresa's grandparents, at their estate near Santarém. They both lived in Canada for a long time and then decided to enjoy their retirement in Portugal. We spent the day with them at the "Festival Gastronomia". It's a huge building complex with multiple areas where restaurants, pastry chefs and all sort of exhibitors display and sell their mouth-watering goods. This place was literally food paradise and we did it justice by trying as many Portuguese treats as our bellies could hold.
