Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin' Carole King
It's raining in Porto. It was nice to lay in bed until well past 11:00am. It is comfortable and we have a view over the Golfe de Porto. Pretty fine place for a rainy day.
We spent the morning scheming, planning and writing. In the afternoon the clouds lightened and the sun came out. We grabbed some lunch and explored the port. Lots of buses come down here full of older couples. They unload for lunch, perhaps a stroll or a boat cruise to see the local area from the water, load up and head off to the next stop. With the number of hotel rooms around, this place must hop during the summer.
We enjoyed a short hike up to the Genoese tower, a walk around the eucalyptus forest and a late afternoon sit and swim at the beach. Dinner at a restaurant of seafood pasta and salad. it was a restful day. Hoping for the sun tomorrow. Here are few pictures.
The Genoese tower in Porto. Everyone walks up these stairs and tries to get inside but he door is locked, then turns around and walks back down. Unfortunately there is no entry to the very top.
