Also attached is todays daily explosion...................IS it getting worse or better?????

Donna here! We are now in Portugal...We had a long drive from Salamanca...We got to Portugal and we wandered a lovely Port town and bought some souvenirs and postcards...after that we went to a winery and I ONLY tastes some different regional wines...The weather continues to be great..not too hot, but Toni with an ...

... The pictures can't really do it justice so briefly: A multi-layered sandwich consisting of: layers of bread and melted cheese each separated by: a steak, a layer of sausage; a layer of chorizo, peperoni and finally a fried egg. The sandwich with a final layer of cheese and toast for good measure is then covered liberally in a sauce of tomato and beer. Thank goodness for those additional chips is all I can say. Virg's salad was a salad.

... port wine tasting for a couple of hours including a tour of one company. They explain the process of making port and then you get to have a taste of a couple. Others you have to pay to taste.

So, all in all, it´s been great. We´d love to come back again but there´s Sicily, Croatia, Prague, Turkey, S/west India all in the queue.

Cheers

Chris and Tony

... lot of people on the street below and buses and cars running down the street. But it´s okay for the price (just under €40 night). The church opposite (there are churches everywhere in Portugal) our hotel features an azulejos tile scene (see photo).

The Rio Douro runs through the city (it´s actually another city city (Vila Nova de Gaia) on the other (south) side of the river). Porto is pretty hilly but not as ...

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 ...

Portugali Veneetsia? Vähemalt nii seda kutsutakse, kuigi, olgem ausad, päris Veneetsia on ikka..Veneetsia :) Kuigi tõepoolest on seal mõni kanal, kuid see on ka ainuke paralleel Päris Kanalite linnaga. Aveiro oli vanasti üsna tähtis sadamalinn, kuid 1570ndatel kannatas ta suure tormi all, mis blokeeris jõesuudme, mistõttu laevad ei saanud enam ookeanini välja sõita. Järgmised ...

... poolt tehtud sild, mis meenutas paljuski Eiffeli torni. Arusaadav :) Laevasõit maksis vist 10€/in ja kestis pea tund aega. Vahepeal jõudis sadada vihma ja kõrvetada päike. Sellist drastiliselt vahelduvat ilma pole ma kuskil näinud: kui sadas vihma, siis täiega, kui paistis päike, siis kõrvetavalt. Ja need nähtused vaheldusid väga järsult. Vihmavarju ei tohiks mingil juhul maha jätta, sest pilvitu taevas on järgmisel hetkel hall ja laseb sellisel vihmal kallata, mis ...

... to the task at hand, charging up the well sign-posted hill on the southern bank of the river. This is where the port producers have long had their warehouses and bottling facilities, and these days the skyline is filled with bold Hollywood-style signage advertising the locations of the various wine caves. Through well-kept ...

Rano sme sa vybrali k Atlantiku a kedze sme sa este na tomto vylete nekupali vybrali sme si predposledne mestecko pred Spanieskymi hranicami na to, aby sme sa trochu v nom omocili. Ti co ste sa uz niekedy v Atlantiku kupali mi potvrdite, ze sa rozhodne nemusite bat, ze by ste sa pri plavani v nom velmi rozhorucili. Nasli sme tu vsak skvelu plaz a prisli sme prave vtedy ked ju ...
