We (the girls) decided that, although we have a wine dinner cruise coming up, that they could not wait and we needed to cross the Rio Douro to find out what Port (wine) was all about. With these two fearless leaders, I have quickly found out that most of our adventures will lead to either a) drinking or b) eating. Who am I to argue, as it turns out those are two of my passions also…so…I’ll be their Huckleberry!
Along our long walk we learned that there is more than one bridge across the mighty river and if you choose the wrong one you have a lot more walking in front of you. What are the chances, we chose the wrong bridge? More walking = more food to consume = winners.
Our visit to “the other side” included lunch at Temple D’ouro (great sushi restaurant with a robot server), a nasty rejection by an angry doorman at Sandeman Bar because they were “already too crowded,” a wonderful wine tasting and Port lesson at Quevedo Wine Tasting Room, and finally some green wine and dessert at Sabores da Fininha on the riverfront. All were outstanding except the grouchy dude at Sandeman…but…he was around my age so I get it.
Can’t wait for tomorrow, I bet we’ll be walking…eating…and drinking.
