Ola from Porto in northern Portugal. I took the train from Lisbon - very easy to figure out and relatively inexpensive - luckily I 'talked' with a lady at the station who told me how to read the ticket. I say 'talked' as she only spoke portugese and I only spoke english so it was an interesting conversation with lots of acting out and pointing.
Porto is quite beautiful and all on a hill too - I really must look at topography in city seletion - lots of up and down for me - ;) I don't have wifi so am at an internet cafe and did not bring the usb key for photos - so will upload some later. I spent yesterday wandering the city and took in the Serrvaes comtemporary art museum and gardens - I have to admit I did not understand most of the exhibits but it was interesting and the gardens were lovely. I then made my way down to the watefront and did a bit of people watching - fascinating. I am now off for another wander and a tour on the River Douro.
