Day 7 - a long cloudy stroll
August 5, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Another misty and cloudy start. Ended up just doing the very long walk into Ribeira and back. Coffee on the river after seeing the long legged ducks, then we found Mirajazz up some steps for a first drinks stop. Barman advised on local nightlife, then we carried onto the Market and had some local wine 🍷. Stopped at the Vintage bar on the way back for a salad, then back to base after 11 miles of walking! Considered going back to town for Barracudas, where a local rockabilly band - the Meam devils - were playing, but a midnight start was too late for us old fogiesRead more

Happy 10th Anniversary wife ! 💖 We got the 200 bus into the centre of town, really buzzing, went in the sardine shop then had a beer stop, had a special Anniversary busker request (don't dream its over). Walked over the bridge and went in a Port 'palace' and had a port and a cod fishcake. Had another beer stop after viewing the lovely market food stalls, then up the hill to wine lodge country. Popped in Taylors and another one with Fado singer. Back to the other side and had an Anniversary sangria, wine and a small meal. 500 bus back, 8 miles walkedRead more

Swim in the pool, then a kfc later on! 10 miles walkedRead more
