from the book THE WEEKEND: Love, Ambition & the Lisbon Dream

Welcome to Part II of our audio Sunday listening adventure in “The Weekend: Love, Ambition and the Lisbon Dream”! In this chapter, we join Paige as she discovers a hidden gem, the Gin Lovers Bar & Restaurant at the beautiful Embaixada, located in the iconic XIX New Arabian Palace on the Principal Road.

Sitting at the bar next to grandiose windows overlooking a mature garden, Paige is greeted by an attractive bartender who offers her a delightful array of gins and refreshing drinks. As she indulges in the Pink Gin with Champagne, Paige’s evening takes an unexpected turn when she strikes up a conversation with two locals who run tourist tours in Lisbon. They share their insights into city living and the vibrant nightlife, including tales of apartment maintenance and the influx of tourists during the summer season.

As the evening progresses, Paige finds herself captivated by the bartender, Dini. A spontaneous offer leads them to his cozy apartment on Rua da Bica de Duarte Belo, where their night becomes a passionate Lisbon dream. Waking up to the bustling sounds of the street, Paige and Dini marvel at the view from the window, appreciating the charm of one of the world’s most beautiful streets.

Exploring the vibrant neighborhood together, the couple enjoys breakfast at the Time Out Market, immersing themselves in the diverse culinary offerings from around the world. With plans for shopping and further adventures ahead, Paige embraces the vibrant energy of Lisbon and the endless possibilities it holds.

Join us as we delve deeper into Paige’s journey in Part II of “The Weekend: Love, Ambition and the Lisbon Dream” and experience the enchantment of Lisbon through her eyes. πŸŒ™βœ¨

Hello! Thanks for checking out my blog. I'm a German writer and trainer. I was born in Munich grown up in the suburbs of Frankfurt. Most of my twenties I spent in London and the UK. Wherever I've lived, my obsession with dance, fitness and writing has followed! During the last years I travelled abroad working as a wellness coach in countries like Egypt, Spain, Portugal and the popular island Mallorca. I also teach courses and workshops for yoga and pilates. While having worked in marketing communication for several years from local to international companies and agencies, as well as on freelance writing projects as a copywriter, I also published my first novel "Lost and found in your eyes" which is available for download on Amazon. I love the city and I'm also passionate about fashion - just another addiction - but I'm happiest spending time on a good book, dancing, doing a good yoga routine or enjoying the sun at the beach. It's the only place I stop thinking about writing - but just doing it;-) live, write, thrive For more details, check out my site www.nhush-books.com Add me on Facebook www.facebook.com/natalie.hush.35 Or follow 𝕏 @NatalieHush101
