Port to Matosinhos
13 km
Wet fog, then damp fog, then clear and cool

Packed up and walked to the Porto Cathedral for starting pic and then to the tourist office for our first stamp in our Credencials.
The views on our walk were shrouded in fog as we followed the Douro River to Foz where it meets the sea. Still foggy along the very fetching coast to Matosinhos and our stop for the day. Later in the afternoon skies cleared and we borrowed bikes from our guest house (Fish Tail Sea House - recommended) and cycle the promenade back 5 km to see the views we missed!
