We are still in Leixoes, wind howling in the rigging and the boat next to us has hanked on a storm jib! We are staying put but yesterday we went into Oporto - a great place for a city break and Easyjet fly here - we stepped onto the Metro not knowing which stop to take into the middle of the city and after a false start found the riverbank, the cathedral and the old town. We walked over the bridge and found our way to Grahams port warehouses where we did a tour and sampled some ports in the middle of the afternoon! Oporto is colourful and picturesque with interesting wind against tide in the river, the tourist boats know when to turn luckily!
Our fenders are working hard against the pontoon here - and this is summer!
