Porto

I arrive in Porto in the early afternoon.
This gives me enough time to take a stroll around town and most importantly - get my Credencial from the cathedral!

But first things first. I need to find a store to buy some things I forgot at home and water for the next day. I find a shop and run my errands before I start my sightseeing stroll. Now that I am here, I might as well cover the most important sights this afternoon.
Porto is a beautiful city, with very nice buildings. Sadly, many of them are run down and need renovation desperately. I think the prettiest part of town is the area by the river and around the cathedral.

I go to the cathedral and get my Credencial  - and my first stamp of the way. Getting excited!

After that, I walk aimlessly around for a little while, before I have dinner at the Majestic, a very stylish old-fashioned cafe just around the corner of my residence for the night.

Then I enjoy what will be the last shower in a private bathroom for at least 2 weeks and call it an early night. Tomorrow will be my first walking day and I want to get out of town by metro early to avoid the midday heat. I want to make it all the way to Rates, which should be a manageable distance if I use the metro.


Bom Caminho!
