Hello!
Welcome to my first account of solo travel!
Today I flew from Liverpool to Porto leaving Philharmonic at 4.30am after an awesome last day sitting in the sun and saying my last goodbyes to a couple of people. I got really stressed last night as I had too much stuff in my backpack so I had to leave my sleeping bag and half a dozen clothing items for it to be under 15kg. I spent the day packing and having to deal with 6 months worth of crap when you,re trying to <travel light> is not fun!
So anyways, got to the hostel- Oporto Sky- and got the most warm welcome from Luzia, the owner, who allowed me to have breakfast as I was starving, been up since 4 with less than 3 hrs sleep and had a massive headache and also let me crash in a free room for a couple of hours while my room was being cleaned. Dont really care that it isnt a -party- hostel, plenty of time for that later!
So moseyed into town mid arvo and met a bunch of london guys at the Riberia and tagged along with them for the day. Shared some Sangria in the sun and then went to the wine museum and port wine tastings...yum!
Thinking I,ll go to the catherdral tomorrow- the Se- and this cool/famous bookshop and maayybe a river cruise?
Not as hot here as I hoped it would be but to be honest it is a massive struggle to get back to the hostel from the Riberia -river area- and also centre of town and I was red in the face and puffed as it was!
Will check in with you soon, bye for now! xx
