Day 3, because this App says so

App is telling me this is day 3, guess it includes travel day. Another great day. We took the tour bus to the Porto City Center. Along the way we stopped at Fort Sao Fransico Xavier, a beautiful old port built in 1661 taken over by the absolutist in 1882 and damage by the liberists then headquarters for the Porto Navy Brigades. Then went to Porto City Center. Lots of history and cool buildings and also a lot of hills. My legs are killing me. We walked down to Duoro River which splits Porto from Gaia. There are 7 huge bridges that can take you from one side to the other. We walked across one of them to get on a river boat and saw the other 5. Then, docked the boat and went to the Ferreria winery of Port wines. Really beautiful old facility established in 1751. Of course, we had porto tasting at the end. We did more walking, suvineer shopping, eating and drinking. Some of us old folks were tired and took an Uber back to hotel, others are whooping it up. Great times today!
Oh! Porto has the oldest book store in the country. I wanted to go in for Sara. Sadly, they were closed on Easter Sunday.Read more
