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.
