Onto Porto the second largest city in Portugal. Guinevere took us right to our hotel in the centre of the city – did I mention there is no flat land in Portugal? Immediately again we went on part of a walking tour being able to take in quite a bit of the old town and port in the 5 hours or so we were out. The highlight was the Igreja (Church) of Sao Francisco. The port area overlooks the town of Gaia where all the port (wine) warehouses are. We had our scenic cappuccino at an outdoor restaurant on the quayside. There are 3 major bridges which are quite high and architectural wonders, one is made of steel which was left over from the construction of the Eiffel Tour in France and designed by an associate of Eiffel!
