Guimaraes

This afternoon we did an excursion to the the above with 2 others from our group. About 45mins in the bus. It's the town that had the first Portugese rulers so there's a 12th century castle several cathedrals and
monestries. Just another historic town really but quite pretty with lovley colourful gardens and fountains. There is a university so lots of young people around. Unfortunately after waiting about 15mins we discovered our bus had broken down and we had another hour to wait for a replacement. We were ushered into a small cafe where our tour guides bought us all a cold drink which was nice. Didn't get back till 7.20 and our tour friends were sitting at dinner wondering where we were. Now sitting in the lounge all packed up waiting for our bus to carry on our tour of Spain. Where heading to the Mediterranean coast so looking forward to that. 5 more overnight stops. Photos. The last 2 are night lights of Porto (where we're are docked) The gorgeous round building is a monestry. Note the Sox with a picture of the pope who just died.Les mer
