First full day with Frank here in Porto!!! We went walking to find the Camino, but it was cold and raining. not very much fun. When we crossed the river, it started to POUR on us! Good thing we were both wearing our waterproof rain jackets and boots. Our pants got soaked, but we both have the quick- dry hiking pants, it really didn't take very long for them to dry! After a little sight-seeing, we stopped for lunch downtown. We found the Camino Trail at the Cathedral and walked it for a bit but my knee was hurting so we gave up and went back to the hotel early.
We watched movies in Spanish and Frank was giving his own interpretation, it was hilarious. Reminded me of the Mystery Science Theater program from years ago.
I got online to book a hotel for the weekend we are scheduled to return to Lisbon from the Canary Islands, but I couldn't get anything for under 500 euros a night!! Yikes!! I don't know what's going on in Lisbon that weekend, but we are in trouble! I finally found a hotel on the outskirts of town for way more than we've been paying per night, then we'll take a bus to Fatima, where I was able to get a good deal.
Ah, the joys of last minute, fly-by-the-seat of your pants travel!! It's not for the faint-hearted!
