Nova Estrela da Noite Porto

Hello all! I know it has been quite a long time and I apologize for that, the time is going more quickly than anticipated and I have been trying to get everything in before it ends! As some of you may know I traveled to Porto, Portugal for my 21st birthday celebration. Being in the US, it didn't hold quite the hype that it usually does, so we th...

Well, so much for New Year's resolutions. It’s been forever since the last update, but I swear I have good reason! Quickly, here are some of the things that I’ve been up to around Paris before I delve into my newest adventure to Porto:

Our first week back was a history intensive week with William JR Curtis, one of the most w...

Stayed at Rivoli Cinema Hostel in Porto which is across the road from the cinema. Excellent location and really good hostel.
First bit of business was to try Francesinha which I had heard about. Went to Aviz as recommended b...

The last days of our trip we had all kind of weather.. Sometimes an amazing shining sun, now and than a drop of rain and most of the time lot's of fog. In the nights it was cold, but luckily we found some abandoned buildings to camp in. In Pochino we decided to take a train to San Marco de Canaveses to move a bit faster and not get stuck in wint...

My flight from Madrid into Porto was my first flight experience with Ryanair. I had heard many controversial things leading up to the booking of my flight so I was interested to see if my story would be one of the endless ones ending in heartache. Considering I wound up in Porto, I'd consider it more or less a success.

I had done quite...

One of the things that took us more time to prepare, was deciding which castles to see.
I had only 3 weeks of holidays and I want to came home a few days before starting my work.
We want to spend 3 days in Eurodisney, about 3 days in Paris (just for the kids take a look) and about 3+3 days to Paris and back ...
So, after reading bo...

First of all, let me say that I am one of the many on the "train travel is better" bandwagon. Although trains in Spain and Portugal are not as fast as in other parts of the continent, they are still relatively quick, quiet, smooth and relaxing. And most offer free wi-fi. Anyway, disembarked in Porto in the afternoon. Up to this point, all I real...

Sometimes in the dead of night, I awake shivering, covered in cold sweats, all from a re-occuring nightmare. Picture it, we are in our camper, the Chookmobile, it's 1998, and as we enter Oporto, cobblestones everywhere. The roof starts jumping about, Lucy dives into the back to hold it down, and all we could do, was to drive out the otherside an...

Hey everyone, sorry for the slack updates but have been not been near an internet computer. I am currently typing this on a laptop to download onto our site when we head into Porto city centre soon to find an internet. So anyway starting from where we last left off which was London, we went out to Cyrus and Annettes flat on Saturday night and ca...
