We were only able to visit a couple (Porto seems to close for 2 hours during lunch) before catching our evening flight out, but we are glad to have tried some new and very interesting kinds of port. Thank you Portugal, we will be back to see more.

We drove to Madelana about 8 kilometers from Porto. As we got near Jessica decided that she was no longer going to be our sat nav floozie and left us in the lurch in a narrow cobbled street. A kind passerby volunteered to accompany us out of difficulty but there was no room in the car. Where upon a passing motorist stopped and offered to lead us to the camp site. There followed a journey down twisting cobbled streets some of them two way as he stopped the oncoming ...

... getting to the place - one woman threatened to throw out her sat nav after taking the wrong turn numerous times. The rain continued and as the camp site only offered sites under oak trees we had a few very noisy nights with water dripping, acorns and oak apples falling on the caravan and a stream running underneath it we decided to move on.

The party was good, but the best about it was surely seeing my hosts and some of their friends dancing dressed as bees, while another one dressed as a beekeeper. :) The next day I spent sleeping and the two others wandering around the city, which is pretty nice.

... doing (other than the 2 mentioned in my Lonely Planet) - not really. The things she mentioned... the cathedral (over it) and the train station (huh?) weren't really that great. Actually they were very average. So I went back and enquired about the beach...it's hot. It takes about 45 mins by bus to get the nicest beach but the lady said it's too cold to swim (it's about 24ºC!) It was now about 3pm so I didn't really have time to go and get ...
