peso da regua

We got a 10 am bfast served in our room and we slept so well it was so nice to have a full European bfast with fantastic Portuguese (very nice) Coffee. The locals told as that this is the most snow they have had in Portugal in 70 year! Lucky we got to see it! We decided to have a look at Porto the home of port. One thing my driver learnt is that our ‘sat nav’ has no idea how to find its way thru the second largest city in Portugal, which it only about 600 years old and most of the streets are cobble stones. Porta is very easy to get around and is incredible scenic. After several serious altercations between my driver and ‘sat nav’ we drove though the beautiful hills east of Porto where the sacred port grapes are grown. We followed the duoro river though very narrow and breathtaking roads to peso da regua. Here we found a hotel, bought several bottles of local Port and a couple of Portuguese hamburgers.
