Portwine, gondolas, awesome architecture, Douro river, luxury boats, UNESCO world heritage old town, colourful houses, beautiful streets and breathtaking views and so so so kind people ....
Yes, Liina and Kristina went to Porto to see this fantastical city of Portugal. The city had something magical in it, we had an amazing 2 day trip.
We took a bus from Lisbon, the journey lasted 2.40 h and on the first day we managed to see all the main sights - we mean the important things noted on the tourist map. One random hotel took our bags to hold for free so we could walk around town very easily and in Porto you can easily walk from A to B because the city is not that big. Of course in the evening we were really tired and we were searching for a supermarket for ages but still we were successful. To stay the night we used couchsurfing, one guy not very far from Porto city was our host. He picked us up in the evening and we had a great time. It was interesting to hear about his job as a pilot - this is just the hardest job, I personally was very suprised. Of course we talked about Estonia because no one never knows anything about our country so it is our job to spread the word ! :D
On the next day we allowed ourselves a long sleep and went to the beach to eat breakfast. This is just too cool that you can go and eat breakfast at the beach ! :D This was our holiday so the second day was all about being lazy. We managed to get ourselves a guide for the second day, a guy who lives in Porto, owns a car and was just way too kind (like most of people in Porto). So we went to a park, to the ocean again, were in a traffic jam, still managed to get to the wine tasting too ! We were just too lucky because our Porto friend got 3 tickets from a random cafe so we got the wine tasting completely free ! Portwine of course was really good ! It was so sad to leave this city, our friend even offered us his home so we could go and visit Coimbra too but we have to leave something for the next time too ! ;)
Now it is picturetime!
