Okay quick catch up first. Left home 5:25am Saturday 1st September. Walked to the airport, started as I mean to continue. Slept 20 minutes on the Jersey flight, Porto flight delayed, arrived in Porto 2pm.
The airport was really smart, some sort of local festival going on, folk singers and dancing in the arrivals hall as well as display of local arts. Everyone really friendly.
I was accosted by a lady bearing a tray of traditional local glazed bannana cake. She explained that it was from a town north of Porto, Povoa de Varzim. I said I was heading that way so she was very helpful and one of her colleagues dressed up as a teddy bear showed me to the metro.
When looking bemused at the ticket machine another lady come up and showed me how it all worked. I really must say the Portuguese know how to take care of their tourists, Jersey Tourism take note. I would certainly recommend Porto for a city break, I was instantly made to feel very welcome.
Hope that you are having fun with friends.I am very tired ,been swimming and had lunch at swimming pool. School tomorrow. Mum getting us all sorted. Love H
