It's Coffee time!

That was one of the big mottoes of our trip to London.
Dividing our time between visiting some areas where we would like to work or live looking for inspiration and putting that inspiration into practice by working in any coffee place we would see fit (e.g. somewhere where we could sit for some time and with wifi), there was plenty of caffeine to go around! :P

And if I think photos from the work time wouldn't be that interesting, there are some others that illustrate what gave us the kick to keep moving and, mostly importantly, that put a smile on our faces! :D

Liverpool Street Station (a possible usual stop in the future)

Old and Modern!

Only in (rainy) London we could find a store dedicated to Umbrellas!

Lego Movie + Toy Store = Cool!! :)

The Tube

Getting local with local street food

A huge M&M store! It always melts my heart (or tasting buds :P)

The horses follow us everywhere we go :P

Look at the Selfie us! :)

Miles and pounds

With no notice, we (me and André, the A&A team) came to London. Because we are planning to move here and being in the city always helps, because we wanted to get an English number and, most importantly, because we needed it!
This is not exactly tourism so the posts about this trip might be a bit different.
For now, I'll leave you with a photo taken yesterday with the mobile (still discovering the new phone camera skills :) ). Can you guess where it was taken (this is an easy one!)?

Random Istanbul

The weekend came and went. Even with the few hours of sleep, it went by in a flash!
It was great and there are some stories that will stay with us for the sake of our credibility :p (what happens in Istanbul stays in Istanbul!). However I collected a photographic summary of what Istanbul was for us in these short two and a half days. Also, as I've said before in another post, a picture is worth a thousand words! ;)

A good way of summing up what the city is

Fishing fishing and fishing! There is a lot of water surrounding and going through Istanbul and, apparently, lots of fish!

Mosques: the Blue Mosque and some of the other 498 857 mosques all around the city

Other random photos

To reach our apartment we had to climb a lot of stairs. In the last night, when we were already a bit tired, it looked like it was a thousand miles away.

On the boat to Asia

Pinar, the national ham brand! (joke for Portuguese speakers only, sorry)

Between Europe and Asia

The tenderness of a statue

Fish fish, does anyone want some fish?

The most common game is black gammon but we didn't remember the rules, so we played checkers

Cats, there were a lot of cats!

The rainbow stairs

They sure have a good sense of humour

In two weeks

In two weeks I'll be packing for this :)

Between 2 continents

It will be a fast and busy weekend! So looking forward... :D
