Moving to Porto

Main order of business was getting to Porto. Luck with a cab got us to Oriente station quickly and well ahead of schedule. Train went fast, but behind schedule, to get us to Campanha station to pick up a cab to our new home at Spot Apartments Trindade. Being ahead of check in we had a late lunch at the downstairs cafe. The charming young waiter suggested a local special and a bottle of Vinho Verde and so we followed the advice and were presented with some toasted concoction swimming in gravy with chips........the wine was good.
Went for a walk down to the famous tile murals of Sao Bento rail station, and a walk in the old town, before shopping for some supplies. Impressed with the quality of wines we bought by stretching our budget to “Reserve” wines at $5 -7. Our apartment is very new and comfortable and our hosts are very obliging. To the Douro valley in the morning.
