Off to Porto

I did tell you about the hotel but I want to tell you more cause it's soo very cool the staff are all gentlemen and very kind and helpful and even speak a bit of English. They are dressed in black we reckon they deliberately meant to look like monks. Here and there on the floor are glass panels showing the original ruins of the monestry. It's a wonderful hotel and we love it. thank you Leah . The group we are traveling with are great and no ones really annoying. We have 2 80 year olds and a couple of ladies late 60 so most of us in the 70s. As well as our tour leader Rebecca from Wanaka we have had a Spanish speaking guide traveling with us. Then when we get to a town where we are doing a walking tour we have a local guide. So we're well looked after. Our bus driver is great and I give him huge kudos for maneuvering our massive bus through some very narrow streets. We're on the boat now and Rog has gone for a walk with the group while I rest. I'm generally stuffed by the time we arrive at our destination each day. I've taken a couple of photos from our cabin through the huge panorama windows. Cold and wet again today. Hoping for sunshine tomorrow.Read more
