Last night in Porto was spent in the exotic company of thousands of footy fans , muttering and groaning as their team drew with Spain...... we roamed and finally settled on a seat watching people, sipping Portuguese Port.....
Seems so long ago now and it has only been five days. Easy to say as we sit in Spain.... in A Guardia....
Five days? My body found muscles it never knew existed... it has been exhilarating, fatiguing.... but I am keen for the next seven days...
The travel has enabled not just the sightseeing up close and personal but also to engage with history.... it also allows for a bit of limit testing...
It is hot... like really hot.......
And we walk
And walk
And walk
And it is the sun beating down, searing skin and ripping every bit of moisture from your body......
I thought I would die the other day
.... really just keel over, tongue hanging out and all that kind of heat dead stuff,,,,,
I was saved by water all over my head.... and drinks..... then further on after more overheating..... the delicious thrill of a huge water trough..... every hedonistic and I didn’t die.....
Quite a satisfying ending , don’t you think?
Have met many awesome Portugués and Spanish people...... some excellent exchanges and what fun it was to walk in a country where many understood French..... .....
It has been more than a blast........
Sorry but no pics as cannot get to them with this device...... check out FB cos can upload to there.
