Travelling

Mr Sandeman guarding his vineyards.
Yesterday was one of the highlights of this tour with a railway journey up the River Douro, I enjoyed it so much that I did part of the trip again on my own today. I caught the local bus down to Regua where I had an hours exploring before catching the train up to Pinhao.

Hotel boat at Pinhao


In the short time I was in Pinhao I circumnavigated the town, had a relaxing lunch overlooking the river for a whole £5.00 and met some interesting people in a local bar.

Wonderful lunch stop.

Tonight is my last night with the Saga Louts, my liver is looking forward to some down time.
I have a taxi booked for 07:30 tomorrow hopefully catching the bus from Lamego to Lisbon at 08:00 and meeting the owner of the apartment I am renting at 13:00ish . I have an evening meal booked with We Hate Tourism Tours .com tomorrow night then I am taking Sunday off.
More soon.
