Got home yesterday. But it was close or I was still in Porto. The hotel had arranged a taxi and it was there at 03:00. But despite the fact that it was indicated that a bicycle had to be taken along, a normal passenger car had arrived. A packed bicycle did not fit in there. They called for another taxi

Last day Porto. Started with classical music in casa da música, designed by Rem Koolhaas. And a tour of this concert hall. There was a 2 day keyboard marathon to honor Helena Sá e Costa's educational legacy. Some 700 pianists, harpsichordists and organists are present. After brunch, back to the street

Tasting of Port, visited bookstore (Livraria Lello) where you have to pay 5 euros and stand in line to enter. Something from Harry Potter is said to be inspired by this shop. Visited the stock exchange building and the station. And after the tasting we went to the street festival, which was close together.

I was lucky with the bike box, there was one in the hotel with the old garbage. Saved me time to arrange a box again. Before I was allowed to check in, the bike was already packed. Entered Porto and tasted a bit of atmosphere. Nice city!

Yesterday evening after I came back from a terrace and groceries, there was suddenly another tent on the already not too big spot. Was a German who, in consultation with the campsite, had decided to pitch his tent there. The only other spot was even smaller and dirty, he thought. Last night 2 more tents

Today with less wind and less altimeters things went a bit smoother. After 13 hours the wind picked up quite a bit. And it was still a lot of buffalo on those beautiful, sometimes endless (cycling) paths and roads. They had not yet completed the cycle path with a broken green line and had also closed

Routes like today are reasons to stay a while longer;) especially the first 60km, after that it got a bit monotonous.

With the help of Jitske I now have all the cycle paths of Portugal in the GPS. Now see if I can find those nice trails. 1 path was a candidate to be a former track. Beautiful day with lots of climbing and descending. This week is my last week on the bike. I cycle to Porto, hoping to stroll there a bit
