    Day 16 - more resting in Porto

    May 11, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ 🌬 70 °F

    A somewhat lazy day in Porto, a lot less walking than yesterday. But that changes tomorrow, looking at about 18 miles. The weather has been fantastic and the forecast continues to look good.

    We started off with a trip to the big Porto market. The facility was renovated fairly recently so it doesn't look its age. We had some breakfast there and just browsed.

    The next stop was one on the fanciest McDonald's on the planet. It is in a historic location that once was occupied by a cafe. McDonald's was allowed to move in on the condition they maintain the original decor, including the crystal chandelier.

    Since we enjoyed the port wine tasting so much yesterday, we decided to take a 2 hour river cruise with port wine tasting. There were only 6 of us (plus 2 crew) on the boat including a couple from Russia now living in southern Portugal and a couple from England in for a week vacation.

    We ate dinner at a restaurant right next to where we are staying then went across the street to Bonaparte's for a drink.
