olhão in june - fachadas de azulejos

Monday 20th of June - a lazy in and around Casa Henriette

Because some of us, despite the good protection against the sun, still suffered from sunburn due to the treacherous wind on Ilha do Farol, we decided over breakfast to make it an easy day.

So we stayed in Olhão and Henk and I made a long city walk in the neighborhood and recognized some of the tiled facades from last year.

We both love the colorful and photogenic houses in the old town.

When we went to the train station to buy tickets for tomorrow's train trip, just then they were pruning the bougainvillea and we were allowed to take a few branches of the pruning waste for our casa.

The rest of the day we spent at the plunge pool and in the shade of the morrocan-like roof terrace.

In the evening we went out for dinner together and Liam-Novi enjoyed the cozy dinner just like us. He deserves an award for best baby to take out to dinner!

vrijdag

Facade with "lace" of concrete at Drukkerij Vrijdag in Eindhoven, by architect J. Gubbels in 1965.

I adore walls like these, it reminds me of the concrete patio walls from the seventies.

In case you agree with me, have a look at the lace-like facade of this building in Australia.

Enjoy your Friday!

peeling paint & funny facade

By far the most enjoyable facade in Bruges.
Peeling paint and a clear description of the rooms located behind the facade.
Between all the picturesque facades, we were wowed by this delightful home.
What an awesome frontage!
