    Porto, Portugal, Day 3

    April 28, 2024 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Our first night in the apartment went well. Eating breakfast and enjoying coffee. Did some more city exploring then took a 50 minute boat tour on the River Douro of the six bridges. Nice views of the city. Walked across the Luis 1 bridge again and bought tickets for port tasting and tour at the Burmester cellars then tasted four kinds of port at the Calem cellars while chatting with two fellows from Nottingham, England. Salads from the local mini-grocery for dinner, then we attended the Fado performance not far from the Hotel da Bolsa, which is a steep hike down and then back up to our apartment.Read more
