Porto - the Home of Port

Porto is Portugal's second city and the only reason we started our Portuguese adventure here was because it was a RyanAir hub. The main highlight for any tourist here was the many port houses that can be found along the river Duoro. Jez and I did the obligatory port tasting and tour, where we learnt about the history of port and sampled the various concoctions. We loved it so much we bought ourselves a bottle and had it as an aperitif before dinner. We also indulged in a little break from hostels - especially as I was still traumatised by my Nice experience so we stayed in an Ibis hotel. Sweet! Another plus for Porto was that its quite a cheap town so we indulged in coffee houses and trendy cafes...........ahhhhhh the good life :P
