• Day 7

    More old town & Porto wine district

    July 6, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Mum and Amr headed off for an early coffee and breaky while Jessica, Ted and I enjoyed a slower start. We walked to the Majestic Cafe, recommended by the Good Weekend travel writers. The place was beautiful and an art Noveau decor. The food sadly was a little pricey and overrated, thankfully our coffee was good! Ted however devoured his hamburger and coke. Jess headed off for a shop while Mum, Amr, Ted and I walked to the Church of the Clerics, with an ornate interior. Jess and Ted headed back to the apartment, Mum and Amr headed off to wander and visited some more churches and I strolled around the area and meandered back to the apartment after shopping. After some down time we made our way across the bridge and caught the gondola down to the opposite waterfront of Porto, the wine district. Jess, Ted and I wandered and had a drink at a waterfront bar, Ted teasing the pigeons while Mum and Amr explored the area. We had a good Italian meal on the waterfront before getting the gondola back up the hill. Another wonderful day!Read more
