Douro Valley Epic Voyage

(Note - posted late) We got an early start this morning for a planned train trip up the Duero Valley. Got to the station to find the trains had gone on strike. So no Duero Valley on this trip. But we did get to see the gorgeous tiles in the old train station. Afterwards, to overcompensate for our disappointment we went to the nearest pastry shop and gorged ourselves on almost one of everything they had. Gotta hand it to the Portuguese in pastry.

After that, we went to the Cathedral of Porto and continued walking off pastry around town for the rest of the day.Les mer
