Porto walking tour
22. mai 2022, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Lovely three hours walking up and down Porto. Last here in 88! According to our guide, tourism has just taken off here in the last 12 years. They are making up for lost time in a big way. The waitress at the cafe said that Thursdays is the quiet day.
Afternoon; walk across the bridge to the city of Gaia, founded by the merchants. We had booked a tour of the Taylor’s Port Winery, with the mysterious ‘opening of the bottle with tongs’. It was very well done! Pics to follow.
The first rain fell so weordered an Uber to get back across the river and of course the rain stopped fairly quickly. Dinner close by, hoping that the rain would stay away. Outside temp about 26c.Les mer

Euan & I had a self-inflicted long wait at Overseas Terminal at Auckland airport; much needed to get the technology under control🤣.
(PNTH airport at 1015, 17 hr. flight to JFK departing 1745. Trish trying to get the Find Penguins App sorted so that I could invite friends to the App. Looking forward to trying ou the 'Sky Couch' with AirNZ, stay the night in NY at JFK Airport then fly to Pittsburg 12.45 next morning to stay with Geoff in Pittsburg.

Thursday, NYC. Sightseeing.
11. mai 2023, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Thursday, and lots of planning to use the three day pass! Visited the Brookland Bridge, the Twin Towers Memorial, (now two large pools, with water falling down to mimic what happened to the twin towers), and the One World Trade Centre, tallest building in the Western hemisphere. Euan’s choice, a visit to The USS Intrepid, with assorted aircraft! This was followed by an hours long boat trip to see Statue of Liberty! We walked about 8kms till my cold got the better of me - I stayed behind while the the others went out for dinner😌Les mer

Reisende Just picked this post up after our 3 concert weekend where one of our big numbers was New York New York! Hope you are feeling better Trish Euan looked s lot more enthusiastic in the photo of the two of you! How’s the food?
14.05.2023SvarOversette
Reisende Hi Gill, great to see this app is working! Yes indeed, the big apple. Last day today and we have seen lots. Great weather also helped. I have had bronchitis!! Would you believe it. I caught Euan’s cold which went a bit out of control. First time having to use health insurance! The clinic care was good. I was forced to get help when my wee sats machine’s alarm wouldn’t stop going off! Diagnosed quickly, and given the ABs and prednisone. It’s taken about four days to stop wheezing and choking! I seem to be better during the day when walking around, but I think it is def. On the mend. At night I am powered by prednisone so sleep is a fond memory🤣. We head to Lisbon this evening. Just sitting in Central Park after spending about 4 hours at the MET. Very good went to Karl Lagerfeld! David & Euan not too overwhelmed in exhibition!

Reisende Sorry to hear you've been a bit miserable Trish. Here's hoping the meds make all the difference super fast!! Take care, Sue xx
13.05.2023SvarOversette
Reisende Hi Sue, thanks for that! I had my little o2 sats machine, so when the alarm kept going off I thought it was time to get assistance! I have lot my appetite for food, but had a much better night last night, although the room was swelteringly hot! Several sponge downs to fill in the wee x all hours. Revived enough for the Larchmont trip To David’s five years US home. It is a planet away from NYC, a very welcome day! My coughing has been greatly reduced! Did you have a nice time planning with Jenny?
13.05.2023SvarOversette
Reisende Glad you had a better night tho interrupted with sponge downs doesn't make for a wonderful night. Would have been nice to get out of the city for a bit. Jenny and I did some rough planning of things we would like to see and do in some of the places. She went home on Wednesday morning. Lucy rang today so had a nice long chat to her. Dave gets home tonight. Hope each day is better than the one before as the antibiotics kick in xx

Larchmont day 35kms away from NYC
Great day away from the metropolis! Good day to give the bronchioles a rest. We have walked 16847 steps, so far today temp27c and fortunately over avercast.
First up, Grand Central Station to catch our train, then to Rockridge road where David spent 5 years as a youth when his father Neil worked for THC NZ (and was trying to attract tourists to NZ). Be careful what you wish for!
Larchmont is fairly fabulous! Photos to follow. We had lunch at a Spanish establishment Bradley’s! We tried to encourage David & Euan to use their Duolingo Spanish with minimal success🤣. After listening to this practice I think we need them to shape up!!!
Then to the nearby beach, and the walk back to the station. Cecily & I are pleased to have missed the train - a half an hour reprieve! Very beautiful especially in spring, providing you have ‘made it big in NYC, I expect. Discussing dinner arrangements that don’t require me to walk any further😂😘 great day!Les mer

Reisende Glad your on the mend !

Reisende Oh those clematis! Sounds like the kind of trip you can only do when you have retired and have no time pressure. I’m lucky to do 1000 steps at present and using a stick when away from the house.
15.05.2023SvarOversette
Reisende Hi Gill, yes, def. a retirement enterprise! When we chat with ‘young’ people they are very envious. I hope we don’t wreck their savings plans! Any news on the hip surgery? I have finished my prednisone today for the bronchitis so hopefully the energy level don’t crash & 🔥!

Lovely day in NYC. temp down to 23c. Mothers Day here us a very big thing! Everyone remotely likely to be a mother seemed to be wished happy Mother’s Day etc! Not at all commercialised🤣. Lovely chats with Lucy & Geoff.
A relaxing 2100 steps, absolutely no sleep last night, running on prednisone and wheezing! Hudson Yards shopping complex,
Marcy’ Dept store, Jewellery District, Euan dragged me into De Beers Jewellery Dept which was a bit disappointing as the assistant said there was a 20% discount and Euan said he was waiting for a 90%! - (my choice in the store was Georgio Armani!)
High line walk, and tonight we went to the The Book of Mormon- a musical show. Packed out and very well done. Throughly enjoyed it. It was so loud I could cough in the loud parts with out being noticed! We had discussed with the couple beside us who were from Manchester UK that A) I didn’t have Covid, only bronchitis and that I might need to make a quick exit, but that wasn’t needed.
Back to the appartments for cheese & crackers + brownie. A hard day in NY.! Packing up for Lisbon tomorrow evening. We can leave our bags here, while we fill-in the day. 🤞Les mer

Lisbon, Monday
16. mai 2023, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Last day in NYC yesterday the 1,5.23
Spent it at the MET.
Taxi to the airport was late and the traffic very heavy, but we got to Newark Airport in time; our 2045 flight departed late!
The United flight was only 6 hours, (over night). It’s rather nice to have 10 hours lopped out of the time. A
Tad weird though as we had the same routine on the plane except the ‘sleep’ was about 2 hours! Food truly disgusting! Munro luggage very late arriving, despite it being ‘priority’! Hotel Lisboa Plaza is nice, so we should enjoy the stay. (Eke promises that the breakfasts are amazing, the time runs from 0700 - 1200). We had a two hour sleep then a three hour walk around Lisbon with our guide. He was excellent, so we learnt heaps. Solar Bacalhau restaurant was chosen for dinner where SOME of us tried the salted cod in various forms! Very nice food. Great to get ‘real food’ after a week of variable results in NY. Great meeting up with Anton & Eke!Les mer

Reisende Good stories. Salted cod?? No thanks. How good I'd the weather? xx. Give my regards to Anton please x
17.05.2023SvarOversette
Reisende Thanks Esmee, first night of sleep in a week, pills finished but I have been propelled by prednisone till now. Love to Aqua friends! There is a gym in the hotel, but the five flights of stairs are more than a challenge at the moment. Cheers! Trish
17.05.2023SvarOversette
Reisende Lovely Lisbon photos! Nice photo of you all too xx Hi to Eke and Anton. Will be a relief to get to actual food! If Eke says breakfast is good, then it will be 😄 No breakfast in a paper bag! I'm still walking plenty. Yesterday went on the Gorge walk halfway and back. Supposed to be fine tomorrow so I may walk some or all the way to Linton. So good to hear that you slept the night! Take care, Sue xx
