Alijo

Hi All. Nearly finished our week of walking around the Douro Valley wine region. It has been pretty trying on the knees and hips with some long steep ascents, even though the daily distances have only been around 15 kms.
Had a coffee at Sabrosa where Ferdinand Magellan was born, the first person to circumnavigate the globe (in the 1500's).
Perfect weather, beautiful scenery with the vineyards in their autumn colours, and the accommodation has been great, small hotels and guest houses.
Back to Porto via train in a couple of days, then a fast train to Lisbon where we are staying for a few days including seeing Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds playing in front of 20,000 seat stadium. Seems he is a bit of a cult hero here!
Hope all is well back in the Antipodes.
