We all did the tour to Porto. The weather was very warm in Portugal as we were close to the Mediterranian, yes! The bus dropped us off near some shops where we got pastel de nata, the famous custard tart. It did not disappoint. I would add that the tart crust is croissant-like. I was expecting more of a pastry crust. At this point daughter L and her husband decided to tour the other side of Porto as they had been there before. The bus took us to see the busy train station then we walked this
steep path down to the Douro river. There we had some delicious sardines and fish cakes at a cafe. Then it was time to rush back to the bus.
In retrospect, husband M and I really liked Porto.
To be continued.
