In the beginning of July Gabi and I headed off to Europe for 8 weeks. We left Sao Paulo To Zurich in Switzerland. Have spent some days there with our friend Henrique. After that we went to Germany, Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Paris in France and London in England for the first part of the trip. I have selected some pictures below.

First birthday with my parents and my brother and sister since 7 years. We went to a Pizza place close to their place and we had a really nice time. Nice way to celebrate 34 years of life.

Machu Pichu and the Inca Trail were the most anticipated event of our one year off. First because if you want to do the Inca Trail you have to book the tour way before hand. Second because we would have to walk for 4 days with altitudes between 2600m to 4200m. Not an easy task. But I am here to tell you that we did. Llama at the Sacsayhuaman site in Cuzco

Sometimes being on a long holiday can be stressful. Last month, Gabi and I, together with her parents, went to a city called São Lourenço, around 150 km from where her parents live. The place is known for its spa centre and medicinal water. I couldn’t resist and got myself in an immersion bath with sulphurous water flavoured with herbal essences. As you can see on the picture below, it does look like dirt water but it is very relaxing.

Last 2nd of March was my mom’s birthday. My brother, my sister and I took her and daddy for dinner. Here is a picture.

We have been to Patagonia which is a beautiful place, full of incredible flora and fauna, definitely the highlight of our trip so far. I have selected a few pictures to share with you.
