All of these Atlantic ports close whenever there is any swell which there nearly always is so it looks like I'll be here until Thursday. But the forecast is good and there are worse places to be than Porto.
I wrote damning reports on the bar situation last night and deleted them this morning. It's not good, I eventually did find a bar nearby and had a couple then it shut. 8pm on a Saturday and it shut! There are bars in the city centre of course but that's an hour away on public transport and I don't trust my bladder.
Tuesday 5th September. Algorta old port with Mary. That's the Basque flag that I'm flying. The book says to be safe, fly this flag or if you must fly the Spanish flag definitely don't fly it over the Basque flag. But look..., It seems I have strayed into some kind of falangist, maybe neo fascist marina. But I'm getting 14 nights for 150 euros, so that's ok. 8th September. Sisters.

ReplyDeleteHopefully there will be a bar in Porto without cakes in the window. When is your next trip to see Margaux?

I'm off to Zurich for a few days in a couple of weeks, flying from Lisbon so I want to get closer to there if I can.
