Holiday Inn Express Porto Exponor Leca Da Palmeira

It really is a shame we already booked our flight to France from Porto. We could have easily stayed an extra week in Portugal, there is so much to see here. But we did pretty good with our 2 days in Porto. It's right on the river and the ocean, and on one side of the river are tons of cute, old tiled homes, that look across to the other side of the bank where all of the old Port ...

... city. Narrow streets tumbling down to the river with washing hanging from the windows. Lots of bridges, trams and traffic. One side of the river was the centre for the production of port. We went to one of them and sampled some of the product. <br><br>We stayed about 100 meters from the sea. Miles and miles and miles of golden sand and boardwalks. We did a lot of walking and a lot of cycling. Beautiful weather. We then moved onto Aveiro further down the coast.

... the better part of an hour looking for any restaurant that was opened. Our meals were : a tuna salad (a can of tuna, unrippened tomatoes and lettuce) and pork (a peice of pork, rice and french fries.) Long story short we were more then enthusiastic to get on the road in the morning to leave Porto behind

Een gevaarlijke haven volgens de Nederlanders die hier al 5 jaar liggen met een Etap 32: de mensen zijn aardig en het is niet al te duur: je blijft er zo maar liggen. Ze konden zo nog een aantal mensen aanwijzen waarbij dit was gebeurd. Wij hebben ook nog geen neiging weg ...

... river that runs through it. It is known for it's Port wine and you can take tours. It has a very laid back vibe and the locals are really sweet. I pretty much ate the same thing for every meal. Grilled chicken with this amazing rice and some form of potato. It was cheap by European standards (3 Euro or $3.90). One night, we (me, Jim from Cali and Sive from Ireland) went out to a Reggae night club. I really liked the music and tried to channel my inner ...

... a bar from the outside, no advertising or signs. In fact, you had to knock on a door in order to gain admittance. It was originally an old house that someone converted into a bar and it had a great feel to it. They were playing reggae inside and outside, in the backyard, there was a nice, chill area surrounded by palm trees. The next morning I walked all over the old town, tasted some pastries, climbed the tallest tower in Portugal and visited ...

... tree in Europe was to be lit. You will see a photo of it - taken from a distance. It was quite impressive. We drove past it in our taxi on the way back to our hotel - it was gigantic. They had some small ice rinks set up and people were sliding around with their shoes on - but having a great time. Chestnuts are roasting on just about every street corner - not only here in Porto but also in Lisbon. We checked out some shops and then stopped in a ...

... I had in Chicago O'Hare was not enough to get my bag from K16 to K19 - a total of 300ft. But they can't confirm that my bag is in Chicago. Off I flew to Porto with no luggage - and I mean NO LUGGAGE. Luckily I had thought to wear my pajamas/lounge wear on the flight out - so I had a pair of hot pink velour pants on, and a black wool short sleeved shirt. It's hot in Portugal. Really hot. Did I mention the black wool shirt somehow turned out to be ...

... and now, giant chocolate easter eggs, and bread with ham in it, I think. Stayed in another cheapy place on the main square with a view out to the plaza...really loud portuguese ladies there last night next door to me..it was like they never even took a breath, the talking just went on and on! then I just lightly knocked on the door and suddenly they went ...
