Caught the metro into the heart of Porto. A kind man that we met on the first train helped us get around. It became a bit awkward after a while due to the communication barrier. We offered to Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 26, 2009

Porto. We arrived in Porto around 8pm. Quite a pleasant 3-hour train ride. It was different to Lisbon but also very beautiful. The weather was a bit like Melbourne and it was the first time we Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 26, 2009

Breakfast. Anthonio came by in the morning to take us out for breakfast. We ate pastries and croquets. My mouth is drooling just writing this. The croquets here are my favourite and they have so many varieties Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 22, 2009

Breakfast. Craving for some authentic Portuguese food, we headed to Sandra’s favourite local haunt for some brekky. Croquets, meat filled pastries, sweet pastries... where to start? The food was scrumptious and we were already planning what to ea Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 20, 2009

We expected to feel crap after 21 hours in transit but landing in a new country certainly has its way firing you up again. Through the exit we could see Sandra in the distance. A familiar face. Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 20, 2009

Have to revise my estimate UP, in regards to how many French people are visiting Porto ;-). And it would be pick-pockets dream with the amount of fanny-packs I have seen. And every time I travel recently, at Posted by bojangles in Viaje a Portugal&Espana | May 9, 2009

- Vinho de Porto, Hmmmmmmmm
Switched bases to Porto, a large industrial city, situated in a huge-steep river valley. Toured around a bit, a lot of similarity to Paris.

Not a lot to report today, switched bases again, from Nazare to Coimbra. The hotel is fantastic, very 19th century-chic, well worth the extra money, it's on the far left of the picture, on the river-edge :-).

After a bit of Rodoviario 2-stepping, or bus-changing, I arrived at the fantastic walled-town of Obidos. A totally cool place, with a lot to see, and a scary little-wall to walk around. Not to mention some pretty Posted by bojangles in Viaje a Portugal&Espana | Apr 30, 2009
