Porto

 I was so worried about entrusting Bob to Ryanair but fortunately he reappeared unscathed at Porto Airport in his smart new bag
 
I was also slightly concerned about my ability to put him back together, but thanks to Big Bro's instructions and a deep intake of breath, Bob is hopefully ready to roll.
The hire car company was utterly incompetent and had lost our booking, so our planned Porto lunch was rather later than planned but so worth the wait
 
Obviously a Bob blog wouldn't be complete without the first of probably many Rusty beer photos (having a few problems with portugese pronunciation of cervejo but we're getting there)
 
So Porto is stunning - obviously we walked miles up and down some serious hills ooing and aahing at the amazing architecture. This is a view of the port houses across the Douro river
 
So many buildings with fancy bits
 
  
Our rather quirky hotel is the other side of the bridge - we aren't expecting a quiet night with the train, cars driving over cobbles and next door's cockerel

Great start to the last day of the trip   I then set off on the last magical mystery Garmin tour. The Strava route went along the busy coast...
