Sorry - in a silly mood - left Porto yesterday. Of the two big cities we visiting in Portugal, Porto was our favorite. It’s hilly but has a diverse architecture and a less planned feel to it. Great Portuguese tapas. It’s different from Spanish tapas in that a few dishes are meant to make a meal. Here are a few pictures from around town.
Carole buying roasted chestnuts from a street vendor. They honestly aren’t very good.
Old port boat overlooking all the port tasting buildings on the far side of the Douro river.
A shot of the “Ribera” district (the river front in Porto).
The view just down the street from our hotel.
Oh you may notice a few scars on my face - these are the parting gift from our Renault Migraine. The cargo door slammed on my head.
So It’ll probably be a bit until we get back to Portugal. Liked it but so many other places left on our list. Would definitely return to Coimbra, the Douro Vally, and Porto. The others if I was in the area.
Gotta go - my first full English breakfast awaits me in Brighton.
