Porto

We hopped on the metro at Povoa de Varzim as it would be much easier than taking our boat up the Rio Douro to Porto. Unfortunately we misjudged getting off the metro and ended up one-stop further on than intended! Undeterred we spent a wonderful afternoon exploring the narrow streets of the historic city centre in the autumnal sunshine. Porto was really quite spectacular with oodles of narrow streets that looked like what you might expect London to have once been like, with four storey buildings with a few extensions popped onto the roofs! Lilly enjoyed her day out in the city especially as she got to sit and eat grilled sardines with Maurice. They were delicious!
