I’ve never ridden a motorbike or scooter before. Despite a small desire at 16 for independence, I’ve never really wanted to.
But over the past few days I’ve been driving a little 50cc scooter around the Portuguese Algarve. I’ve explored little streets, small towns and coastal areas.
I’ve also been able to gently drive past a massive backlog of cars and go down some rural roads. It’s been phenomenal.
I think I’ve understood the allure of being on a bike.
It gets you to the same place. But with so much more freedom.
P.s. Mom when you read this know that I’ve been like, super safe and that I won’t be buying myself one anytime soon 🙂

Song of the day: Don’t go breaking my heart – Elton John and Kiki Dee
Can’t resist those promenades 😂
They’re my drug 😂
So good to see that you are exploring the area. Thank you for not wanting to buy your own motorbike!
PS I love your song of the day as it brings back cherished memories of my Standard 5 (Grade 7) Leavers Dance when I won the 7 single (yes, one of those small plastic black things) for dancing with one of the boys in my class – he was Italian!
It’s been so wonderful 🙂 and I’m so glad the song of the day brought back such memories 😄
