Caminho Portugues Days D-2,D-1

August 28 and 29
Porto

Two days of playing tourists.  We both really like this city.

Portugal is proving again to be very economical. For  example, $132 for three nights in spacious and centrally located Air B&B.  The neighbourhood grocery store sells buns for € 0.12 and a one litre Tetra pack of rose wine goes for € 0.67!

After our first night of jet-lagged restless sleep Lisa surprised me with a three hour motorcycle sidecar tour for an anniversary gift.  Super fun with charming and informative guide Andre.  Recommended.

Wandered the city, taking in a port wine tasting then joined an 11 pm start guided pub crawl that went into the very wee hours.

Some pre-Caminho chores for our last day in Porto - purchase SIM card for local calling, post some of our kit to Santiago for after the walk, obtain Credencial (pilgrim passports) at Cathedral, book ahead a few nights as all signs indicate accommodations are quite booked up for our chosen route.
