Slow Start in Portugal / ゆっくり始まるポルトガル旅行

I had heard all kinds of rumors about Ryanair, and on this trip I experienced my first big delay with it. We didn’t arrive at our hotel in Portugal until 2 a.m. (3 a.m. German time!). We finally arrived at the room and dived into the bed. Our daughter and I are fine, but my partner seems to be coming down with a cold. Pity ...

It feels like we’re right at the border between the rainy and dry seasons, and it’s supposed to rain today and tomorrow. There were many things I had imagined doing, but I realized it was just as important to let our bodies rest and take things slowly. We had a late slow breakfast, then went for a swim as a family in the still-quiet pool, followed by some time in the sauna and a long, relaxing soak in the jacuzzi.

Just because it’s a vacation doesn’t mean we have to do intense sightseeing. I’d rather listen to what our bodies need and enjoy the days at a gentle pace. Let's see how the travel will be ☺️

いろいろな噂を見聞きしていたライアンエアで、初めて大きな遅れがあって、ポルトガルのホテルに到着したのはなんと午前2時（ドイツ時間だと午前3時！）。ふらふらでたどり着いて、ベットに倒れ込んで、子供と私は元気なものの、相方は風邪気味です。

ちょうど雨季と乾季の境目のようで、今週は今日明日雨。あれこれしたいと思っていたこともありつつ、でもまず体を休めゆっくりするのも大事だなと、ゆっくり起きて朝ごはんをしっかり食べて、まだ人もまばらなプールで家族で泳いで、サウナに入って、ジャグジーでのびのびしてきました。

休暇だからといってガッツリ観光しなくてもいいんですもんね。体の声を聞いて楽しめたらと思います。さてさてどんな度になるか楽しみです ☺️
