• Bus from Santiago de Compostelo to Porto

    May 25, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We had a little sleep in this morning before going for our breakfast in the hotel. We had overeasy eggs then all the same types of breakfast options.
    We then walked over to visit the Sanctuary de Compostela. It is a beautiful cathedral. They have masses and confessionals in different languages. We were able to walk through and touch the back of the Apostle, Saint James that faces the congregation from the alter.
    Following this we walked back to check out of the hotel and walk to the bus station to head back to Porto. We worked on our journals and pics for findpenguins on the bus and had a few anxious moments in Vigo when we had to switch busses when we were told we didn't have to.
    Had dinner at Casa De Baiao in Porto. Our host, Pedro, was most welcoming and friendly and made some recommendations. Then he and the other waiter kept bringing us different foods to try, then he started pouring shots...first a grapa that was smooth but still not great😝, then a 2 year old port then an 8 year old port. We were all feeling no pain by the end. They were just so kind. We added to their great reviews and tipped them well for their generosity. Such a fun time. We left the restaurant in search of a supermarket and finally found o e big enough with variety and by this time it was pouring so we ordered up an uber and our driver was so chatty, friendly and informative...he got a tip too!!
    We all crashed when we got back to the airbnb.
