Portugal-Amsterdam 2022 - #15 - Porto - Sunset On The Douro

 We arrived early enough in Porto to drop off our bags in our in town apartment, and then drop off our rental car at the airport. Porto is not a very large city geographically so none of this took much time. We had time to go out and seek a meal and do some shopping. It is at this point that we encountered the reality that Porto is damn hilly!. It was a real hike down to the restaurant. The local market was closed. After dropping Wife off at the apartment (which requires two flights of stairs up), I went to another supermarket. Google said it was 500 meters away. It didn't say they were almost all vertical! I was wiped out by the time I was back. 

NONETHELESS, we have a spectacular view from the apartment and we were treated to a lovely passage to night fall

It's a good thing the apartment views are all so stunning, since the hills and stairs seem to mean you'll never be leaving to roam the city...
