Cambridge.

Como si fuera la primera vez. Soy persona de costumbres. Me gusta recorrer las calles caminando sobre las pisadas de mis anteriores visitas esperanzado que todo permanezca igual. Afortunadamente tengo una memoria selectiva y solo recuerdo las emociones que me produce todo aquello que me rodea. Es por ello que, aunque sea diferente, sin duda volveré.

It's as if it is the first time. I am a person of habit. I like to go back walking around the streets retracing the steps of my past visits hoping that everything is has stayed the same. Fortunately I have a selective memory and I only remember the emotions and feelings of the things around me. Its because of that, it doesn't matter if the place has changed, I will no doubt return.

That day on the beach.

Haber nacido y crecido en una ciudad con mar me crea dependencia del mismo. Soy persona de invierno. Disfruto en las desérticas playas cuando hace frío. Además existe una extraña relación entre todos aquellos pueblos costeros que, a pesar de ser distantes, se asemejan entre sí. Es esa delgada línea que hace de lo hortera algo con encanto lo que me hace sentir cómodo.

Being born and raised in a city by the sea has created some sort of dependency of it. I am a winter person. I enjoy the deserted beaches when it is cold. It doesn't matter what coastal village or town you visit, you will always find some sort strange resemblance between them. It is the fine line of tackiness and some sort of charm that makes me feel comfortable.

Swing.

Me gusta el frío en días soleados y, si además me dices de salir a caminar por la montaña no puedo pedir nada más. Bueno si puedo, encontrarme un columpio en medio de ninguna parte. Es la ocasión perfecta para apartar las preocupaciones a un lado y disfrutar de estos pequeños momentos que, sin duda, recordaremos a nuestro regreso.

I love the cold on sunny days and, if you tell me to go out for a walk in the hills I can't really ask for much else. Well actually I can, finding my self on a swing in the middle of no where. Its the perfect opportunity to put aside all of your worries and enjoy those small moments, that, without a doubt, we will remember upon our return.

Crossing.

Son muchas horas en la carretera. Francia es un país enorme, y te das cuenta cuanto más tiempo pasas dentro del coche. Aún así nos merece la pena. Alcanzar el puerto de Calais y subirnos a bordo del ferry que nos lleva a Inglaterra es la recompensa a un largo viaje. Es el momento de relajarse y tomar un café contemplando como te alejas de un país y empiezas a vislumbrar los acantilados de Dover, señal inequívoca que has llegado a tu destino.

There are so many hours are spent on the road. France is such an enormous country, something you realise when you in the car for hours and hours. Its worth it though. Reaching the port of Calais and boarding the ferry that took us across the channel really compensates the long journey. It's the moment to relax and have a cup of coffee whilst getting further and further away from one country whilst you start to catch a glimpse of the White Cliffs of Dover, an unmistakable sign that you have arrived at your destination.

3 months left.

Justo hoy me faltan tres meses para disfrutar de unas necesarias vacaciones. Parece una eternidad, ver como todo el mundo a tu alrededor va disfrutando de sus escapadas lo hace un poco más lejano. Pero merece la pena la espera una vez confirmado que vuelvo a uno de mis países favoritos, sino el que más. Si hay algo que no me gusta de Portugal es tener que abandonarla.

Today marks exactly 3 months until I get to enjoy some very much needed holidays. It seems like an eternity, especially seeing everyone around you jetting off enjoying their breaks makes it feel like mine are very distant. However, it is worth the wait as it is confirmed that I will return to one of my favourite, if not the most favourite, countries. If there is just one thing that I don't like about Portugal it is not getting to visit it.
