Praia da Barra to Porto

Totally different today. The sun was out and it was windy …the perfect day for drying washing!🙄 Too late, all been done in the tumble drier. Big gusts of wind at 5am meaning Guy had to get up to secure one of the tent pegs. Rufus took himself for a walk around the campsite – we still have no idea how he got out of the tent. Thankfully, he came back after five minutes laughing to himself. We left quite late and set off for Porto. Phone nav to took us to a port to catch a ferry ⛴! Turned around and tried the A roads again. Potholes all the way. Had to give up and motorway in to the city. Nearly got stuck down a very tight road on the way to the car park but breathed in and made it through. Parked next to the river Douro about a mile from the centre…except we never really found the centre! Think we walked to edge of it then turned the wrong way. After three hours our dog was pretty tired so we had to come back. Guy got his bike out and went for another look and it seems we did just miss it! Had to buy some Port from the supermarket so that we could drink Port in Porto 😂 All the Port wine lodges are on the other side of the river. Might try again tomorrow although quite like what we’ve seen so far.
