Kayaking and cruising

June 3, 2024

Before leaving Pinhão we took the opportunity to kayak on part of the Douro and one of its tributaries near the village. Being here alone I was paired up with a big Aussie male which was perfect for me because I am a very bad kayaker. Others went on a local port wine tour. Once back on the ship we set sail for the Spanish border. The river was very narrow in spots and we had 2 more locks and a low bridge to navigate. We are docked at another village called Vega de Térron in a very remote area of Portugal.

Today’s programme but the flamenco dancing was postponed until tomorrow

Me with Alan my Aussie partner from the Sunshine Coast Queensland.

Navigating a low bridge. Those on the upper deck had to sit down and the bridge and mast were lowered.
