    25. mai 2024, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 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.

  • Last day in Porto

    26. mai 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We had a nice sleep in after our night on the town! We cooked breakfast ourselves and got some laundry going. Then, with Andrew feeling a bit off today, Joanne, Anthony and I went to look for some items in Porto to take home. We enjoyed a lunch near the Justice building then walked back to the airbnb to enjoy a pastry and tea before the Snow's had to leave for the airport and their fun,new photography adventure in Madeira.
    We were sad to see them go after such a fun time. Anthony and I had a short rest and did a bit more laundry. I had contacted our Airbnb host regarding a handmade cork basket they had here. He got in touch with the owner of the shop who designs and handmakes the baskets and he delivered one to our Airbnb for us since we leave tomorrow and they were closed today. We couldn't believe the kindness of our host to arrange this and the owner of the shop is pleased his product is heading to Canada🥰 After, we walked next door to a restaurant where we enjoyed the best burgers and watched the Porto FC win the National Championship. The restaurant owner was celebrating as were locals driving by honking their horns. We are back to Lisbon tomorrow.

  • Porto to Lisbon, last day/night

    27. mai 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    We had a nice leisurely morning before leaving our Airbnb at 10am. We watched the Porto version of street sweeping which was interesting! We ubered to the train station with plenty of time. We had a newer, more spacious train on the return trip to Lisbon and they even came around with a snack bar! In Lisbon we found our Airbnb, dropped our bags off so the cleaning could be completed. We were about a 25 min walk into the town center so we went to find the GinJinja we tasted on our food tour. We happened upon a very entertaining group of University women in their uniforms performing their school song. Then we did a bit more shopping, had a quick bite to eat with our mojito and beer, then ended our evening in Lisbon the way we started it back on May 7, with the traditional egg custard tart ( Pastéis de Belém is the original place that started selling Portuguese egg tarts, dating back to 1837. Pasteis de Nata means cream pastries and Pastel de Nata is Portugese and refers to just one egg tart...we couldnt have just one!!) and gelato. We have really enjoyed Portugal and will be back.Les mer
