Peaceful Porto

A restful flight...I slept most of it. Arrived in Porto , was reunited with Bert (my backpack)
Had a long an interesting chat with Simon-who was in Porto for a dance festival.

Then it was off to tackle the metro. Not the ideal time to be travelling as we were literally squashed in. Anyone that knows me will know I don't like crowds at the best of times.
Then, it was a mile walk to the Cathedral to collect my Pilgrim's passport. Bugger I forgot to get it stamped, so I might head back after breakfast tomorrow. (Or not?)

Porto has a chilled atmosphere, and it's a balmy evening. Accommodation faces the river. The House of Sandeman has private rooms and hostel dorms. Yes, I'm in a dorm. It is a lovely place to stay. I will luxuriate in a bed complete with sheets for perhaps the last time in a couple of weeks.
Sitting by the river this evening, I met Liz from Melbourne and her Canadian husband Paul. We chatted for ages swapping travel stories. They are both lovely. Retired and heading to the UK tomorrow before ending there 10 week travels with the long flight back home.
I'm still not sure of tomorrow's end destination. Itll be a lateish start as breakfast is included and is not served until 8.00. Let's see how far these feet feel like travelling.
