Fri - Tue, Porto.

Unfortunately for the last 2 days of the cruise, Richard and I started feeling congested, runny noses, sore throats and swollen glands. By the time we got off, I was feeling a little better, however Richard was really stuffed up. So our plan of hiring a car for 3 days and heading down the coast, was scraped. We stayed in our apartment for 2 days - then on the 3rd day we were able to go out and explore Porto. Went to the Central market, where fresh produce, cheese, seafood etc was sold alongside souvenirs. The Central train station where the beautiful blue tiles told the story of Portuguese history, rural life and transportation. Down to the waterfront where numerous cafes and stalls were vying for custom, then over the Luiz I bridge to where all the Port wine cellars are located. Still loving the tiled buildings!
Portugal was lovely, however time to head home... next stop, Hong Kong.En savoir plus
