    Day Thirteen: Travel to Porto

    March 28 in Portugal ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

    Today was a very chill day, we took a 4 hour train to Porto at 11:30 today. Had a like e-scooter ride there going past some Familiar sights! But it's so weird to find what train you actually have to take. Maybe it's just different here, but nowhere on the ticket does it say the train. We had to ask a full Portuguese person, and they just said linhe 3 or something. We would have missed the train if it wasn't for that. But the ride was smooth, and we had a nice British woman who entertained us for the ride. When we got Porto we tried to find our hostel. It was so strange because it was inside the train station. But then we walked around a little bit and found an old church in the city center which had a Lazer light show which was so spectacular. But before we went to that we had a classic porto dish called francesinha. Holy shit that was heavy. It's a sandwich filled with different meets covered in cheese and soaked in a beer and red wine sauce. It was good, but it did destroy me. It was very heavy and too much for me. Personally, only having it once is perfect for me.It's weird seeing these modern light shows in a church that was built so many years ago. After having one beer, which was 8.50 euros!!! Way too much, we went to bed since I am trying to feel better. It was a good start to a new beautiful city.Read more
