Short vacation in Porto, Portugal
May 20, 2023
For our first wedding anniversary, Gizem & I travelled to Porto. Its colorful & narrow winding streets are super beautiful, and the Luis I bridge that overlooks the Douro river is very impressive! We stayed for a few days and took an Airbnb in the Ribeira district, right next to the river, and it was great. Breakfast was also amazing, I love breakfast generally speaking, and the people of Porto impressed me with their breakfast skills. It was the week-end of the "Dia de Marinha" (I'm guessing, days of the navy) and got lucky enough to see a three-masted barque!
The Luis I bridge. Beware of vertigo. I'm still traumatized.
Sagres III, a boat used by the Navy to teach recruits how to sail (I think, at least that's what I read)
This is one of the oldest building in Porto.
We got a (little) tipsy in an Irish pub, it made us miss the Irish people and friends that we made there.
