Fiacoba 2014: Horse Show | Oliveira do Bairro, Aveiro, Portugal

Hi there! A couple of weeks ago I went to Fiacoba in Oliveira do Bairro to see a horse show, as my sister and her best friend are crazy about horses (and I must confess I kind of fell in love with those creatures, they're so beautiful and friendly!). In Fiacoba there are plenty of other attractions such as concerts, food and drinks, other animal exhibitions, etc.
Sorry about the photo quality, nothing was in my favor, it was dark, I was far away and against the light and there was this lovely lady in front of me recording the whole show and constantly putting her camera in front of mine. I still hope you enjoy the pictures! I sure did love the show!

Ski/Snowboard Trip: Outside the Bus | Serra da Estrela, Portugal

Hey! So outside the bus it was time for some action! I first tryied to ski and I must say, I have a real talent for it! Snowboard - not so much... I have no idea how many times I fell, but of course I'd never give up and ended up nailing it (as you can see in the pictures). Besides that all I can remember is the pain I had the following day due to so many worth recording fails!!!

Ski/Snowboard Trip | Serra da Estrela, Portugal

Hello! So, for my first post in this blog I choose to throwback a couple years ago when I went on a ski/snowboard trip to Serra da Estrela, Portugal with some of my school mates.

Serra da Estrela is one of the highest places in Portugal and one of the only places where it snows. You can get the perfect light exposure for pictures in the morning and as the sun sets.

P.S.: All pictures were taken by me from inside the bus, so some are a little blurry.
