Porto

I arrived in Porto yesterday and had another hard time of finding the hostel. The streets are very poorly marked and so I went back to the bus depot to get directions. Thank god for the lovely Portuguese man who helped me. The people in this country are absolutely lovely and so kind and helpful, really great people. I found the hostel and told them their directions to the hostel were rather poor. I found a place after I checked in to eat that had craft beer. I got a tapas plate of calamari, fries and beer for €6. The tapas were huge. Today I walked a record of 30km and it took me 6 1/4 hours. I cant feel my feet. I bought two small bottles of 2014 blend red for .79cents each and sat on the terrace with my feet up. I can't say I'm really impressed with Porto (home of Port wine). Too many high buildings with run down buildings next to them with no rhyme or reason to the buildings. I found the surf area which is right next to the cruise ship centre and shipyard. It's definitely not a green city. A bit disappointed and will be heading out tomorrow.Read more
