Captain’s Log: Sunday, 21 July 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distance: Sightseeing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodation: Airbnb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather: Sun<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s note to myself: Remember Free Walking Tours, they are quite good for a first impression of a city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

I actually thought I would just walk around in Porto, looking where I could find nice looking buildings as I did in other cities, but at some point I stumbled across a tour guide with his group, who was talking in English, so I decided to just follow them like a lost puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That was one of the better decisions during my journey because the tour guide knew a lot about his city and he also managed to teach it to us in a very fun and sympathetic way. I also asked him if it was okay for me to just randomly join them, and it was no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Porto is very hilly, so I was glad that I did not have to walk around without a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apparently that was a book store where J.K. Rowling was and also wrote a bit of Harry Potter. I didn’t know that she lived in Porto for two years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also visited the train station which had beautiful paintings of some historical moments of Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We ended the tour at a cathedral from where we had another amazing view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I got to talk with a group of German girls during the tour, and since I did not know what else I would have wanted to do, I asked them if I could join them on their plans, which was another one of my better decisions. I had a very nice time with those four women, we first went to get something to eat and then for some frozen yogurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards we joined a boat ride up and down on the river which separates Porto from, I think the other city is called Gaia? From these two cities combined, Portugal has its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the boat tickets we also got two tickets for a Port wine testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately I won’t be able to take a bottle with me, even though they were quite good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was already getting late, but the German girls invited me to their place for watching a movie and dinner, which I gladly accepted. It was so nice to do stuff again with other people instead of alone, and they just accepted me into their group so well too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now it is getting late and I hope, I won’t oversleep tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
