Last Day In Porto

So we just finished our last day in Porto. It has been an amazing trip because of the fabulous destination and of course the company makes a difference. Also, the place we stayed was absolutely fabulous, called Flattered Apartments (http://flatteredapartments.com/en/porto/presentation/) which are located in Foz which is about 15 minutes by bus from the city center. It was a great location for us as our aparments overlooked the ocean and the beach was across the street which was very convenient. The apartments were great inside, nicely furnished, with great service and yummy breakfast every morning.

My morning began like any other with the yummy breakfast. We got ready and walked to the light house across the street from us and enjoyed the very choppy ocean with huge waves! We walked some more and found a cafe overlooking the water and had a yummy sandwich of a seafood salad. We lingered on for a while as we were sipping a delicious  rose. After a while we walked over to the bus and headed to the city center for some more Port tasting. We went to a couple of places and had some delicious 20 year old port with some delicious truffles.

We spent a few hours there and then headed back to pack and hang out for a bit before heading to dinner. We chose a restaurant that came recommeded by the apartment owners. It was called A Capoeira (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g189180-d1627154-Reviews-A_Capoeira-Porto_Porto_District_Northern_Portugal.html), it was a local, small, charming little place with the most gracious hosts. I had a delicious plate of grilled fish with vegetables and fries.  The fish was done to perfection and the sangria was delicious. It was our last meal in Porto and it was fantastic!

It’s time to move on tomorrow and we are off to London and then Edinburgh. I will miss this beautiful city. Our hosts were surprised that we were visiting from the US since he hardly sees anyone from there… turns out usually the Europeans visit but not any one from the US… which is a shame.. it is an amazing place and I will definitely be back. For now I will sign off and take a break till I get back from this amazing trip….
