Lisbon, Portugal: Block Party/Free Day

Christchurch, NZ: Day 10-Taking on New Heights
To end our free day last night my mom and I ended up binge watching the last half of Squid Game: The Challenge (Trinity made me so mad with his decision but I was content with the ending). We decided to pre-order our Uber for our activity today and then…
