Day 9 - Sunday 6 September 2015 This was our last day in Porto, we were flying to Barcelona in the afternoon. We took it easy in the morning and casually packed up our things and got ready to leave. On the food tour we had been on a few days earlier we went to this delicious bakery called Pasties de Chaves. Before we left the country Jazz wanted to go back there so we got the taxi driver to make a quick detour on the way to the airport so we could get some sna...

Day 8 - Saturday 5 September 2015 We had set our alarm as were up late on Friday night and needed to wake up early to go on our tour of the Geres National Park. I woke up before the alarm though as I heard my phone vibrating from across the room. I went over and had missed calls from my mum & brother as well as various messages.

Day 7 - Friday 4 September 2015 We had a food tour of Porto that started at 10.30am so we didn't eat breakfast & made our way to the starting point to be greeted by our guide Andre.

Day 6 - Thursday 3 September 2015 We had stayed up late the night before so we set our alarm to wake up. We had to catch the train from Lisbon to Porto so we had to pack up our things and made our way to the train station. Our host said we could catch the metro to the train station but our suitcases were so heavy we decided to catch a taxi instead. Taxi's are not that expensive here (well compared to Perth anyway) so for the sake of a few dollars, it saved a lot...

Day 5 - Wednesday 2 September 2015 We had gone to bed the night before at around 11pm but still managed to sleep until 10am the following day. We both love our sleep! We were both feeling crappy so we lay in bed and called Shannon. After the call we dressed and went wandering. This was our last full day in Lisbon. We decided to wander up the hill as we hadn't been that way yet. The streets were really quiet it was a little creepy. We walked to a lookout so we...
