We left our lovely wee hotel and went exploring Vaiana Do Castelo, taking the vernacular railway to the Sanctuary of Santa Luzia church. Very impressive with nice views over the town.

We stumbled upon a musician playing a steel drum. The music was so beautiful that we bought a CD to take home… All we need now is a CD player!

We had a traditional Portuguese breakfast of Francesinha… Basically a ham and meat sandwich drenched in cheese sauce…. We’re both starting to miss salads. I had a beer to make it healthier.

Breakfast took a while so we had to ditch a visit to the chocolate museum but I stopped lip wobbling when we stumbled upon a cool little hairdresser who sorted my hair and face out, complete with cut throat razor moves and a glass of port wine.

Looking dapper, we made for the train to Porto and our utterly charming hotel run by a lovely old lady. After settling in we made for the most beautiful book shop in the world and ended the evening dining on some delicious food and cocktails at a wonderful restaurant called the door. Another great day full of adventure (but mostly eating and drinking). Good job we’re walking a bit.
