We managed to hit carnival in San Sebastián (Donostia) and saw some pretty weird fancy dress... oh and it was warm enough to wear shorts for the first time in 2017.
Keep Portland Weird. So the T-Shirt slogan says anyway, and I think I'd agree with that. Definitely a city that's happy doing it's own thing and not worried about being compared to anywhere else. With more independent coffee roasters and cafes that you can shake your drip-filled-reusable-cup at, Portland's chilled, laid-back attitude to life is certainly appealing.
Sculptures by the sea, coastal roadtrips, crystal clear water and a friendly horse. All you need for 3 months in the Australian summer!
We finally got to visit our friends Tom and Michaela in Berlin and explore the city like locals!
