An entire wall will take you about a year and a half. Not a 40-hour working week of course, and not 8 hours a day… but still, quite a few hours went into this. We think it’s a nice result, but very difficult to photograph!

The mosaic is located at the front of the hotel rooms, in a narrow corridor

Jutta succeeded in taking beautiful pictures. Thank you very much Jutta!

And thank you very much, friend Astrid, who participated a lot.

And thank you Stephanie, who donated the little blue magic door – see if you can find it.

Thanks to the owner of the hardware shop in the zona industrial in Soure, Michel of Modernação, for his generous gifts of some marvellous tiles!

Dear readers, I hope you can appreciate this. Watch this:

I’m going to ly down for a bit. My fingers almost drop off … See you next week, dear readers!

We moved here in 2000 from Rotterdam, Holland to the Termas-da-Azenha, Portugal.

A big step, especially with two small children.

We are busy to rebuild one of portugals cultural heirlooms: Termas-da-Azenha, an old spa which has been turned into several holiday houses, rooms and a campsite.

You’ll find mosaics and paintings everywhere.

Since 2018 we call ourselves the first B&B&B in the world – Bed & Breakfast & Bathrobes. You can buy a home-made unique bathrobe/housecoat with us.

Each week a little blog about what is happening around us. An easy read. A few minutes in another world. A little about what it going on in Portugal. If you plan your holiday to Portugal, it might be a nice preparation

You’ll get it every weekend in your mailbox.
