Checking up on... things...



Hey everyone, I hope you have had a lovely Easter and that you've eaten a lot of chocolate and stuff, and I'm sorry for sort of disappearing for some weeks, but it's a three day weekend and it is hella rainy, so I think I should be staying home and do.... nothing which means updates here.

So what have I been doing lately? Well I watched a load of movies during the Easter holidays such as The Grand Budapest Hotel, which I absolutely adored, Wes Anderson never fails to surprise us; Blue Is The Warmest Colours, which was a m a z i n g, I'm officially in love with Adèle Exarchopoulos and 
Léa Seydoux, they are both awesome actresses and I think that movie is a big step in the LGBT+ community which is really cool; then I watched Divergent, it was meh, I didn't quite like it, I still prefer the books, was it horrible? No. Was it the best movie ever? Nope. It did its work, but it was still meh. I also saw The Descent 1 and 2 and it was really cool and I had trouble sleeping for like 2 days because of it. Cheers. Lastly, I watched The Virgin Suicides, and I really don't have anything to say about this movie because I really like Sofia Coppola's work.


Besides that I've been wanting to get back into watching Orphan Black because I made a small break because of Game of Thrones's fourth season which is being really great so far!

I also went to Lisbon for 4 days and it super cool, people from south Portugal have no idea of how easy they have it because they warned us that it was going to rain, and it did. For half and hour. Here in the north when it starts to rain it doesn't stop after 7 freacking months. -_-

Ok! Without further ado, I'll shut up and share some of the photos I took in Évora and in Sintra in the Mountains of the Moon ( they have a really cool name, I know, they used to be called Lunae Mons which is the translation in latin). Woo!








Wowow cool church/building/thing in Évora which name I can't remember!




The well known Roman Temple of Évora!, It was one of the candidates to the seven wonders of Portugal and it's one of the most significant landmarks relating to the Roman and Lusitania civilizations of Évora, in Portuguese territory.






A really cool sculpture in Évora.







From this picture below everything was taken in Sintra. It was really rainy that day.


One of my favourite photos! Black swans are so cool.

The path to the castle was so relaxing... There was green literally everywhere.


An old green house.


There had been a storm recently, lots of the trees had to be cut off, sadly.

Weird shaped tree. What else do you need in life?

Ah, yes, finally the castle! It's a weird mix up of lots of architecture styles.

Oh, and its name's Palácio da Pena by the way.






And that's about it!
