Hotel Fundador Guimarães

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.

... without the normal care and as we were going along we suddenly realized that the caravan had become detached. Fortunately the breakaway cable had worked. We reversed and reattached her, no harm having been done. We then had to do a 50 mile detour to get to the camp site. We spoke to other camper and caravaners who had had great ...

<br> The next day we hit the road to Porto which was a substantial drive of about 5-6 hours. Luckily this is the day the weather decided to turn, so the bad weather was endured from the comfort of the car. We arrived late to Porto and checked into our less then elegant hostel. Our meal was no better. We ...

... gaan, maar dat komt grotendeels door de hardnekkige mist. Ik probeer weer een aantal korte video's te uploaden: de belboei bij Ramsgate, het hijsen van de vlag in Portugal, de vissen in de haven (we drijven echt in een aquarium) en misschien nog een paar andere stukjes.

Guess this is the wind down point after two months on the road before I headed back to Ye Olde London town which is probably why I haven't much to report. With a little over a week in Portugal I doubt I did the country justice and only touched the surface. I hit the little hostel which was new and a little inexperienced at it as they had quality ...

... sun and enjoyed a coffee and some Portuguese pastries. Sao Bento station is beautifully decorated with painted tiles depicting scenes from Portuguese history. We took the last ten minutes before our train was due to depart to use one of those photo booths. Jess and I squashed in together to get our picture taken. The train to Guimaraes is modern and quiet and the journey takes an hour and a quarter. I enjoyed looking out the window although the girls would have ...
