Wife has come back..

After her escape attempt, Mrs.Grumble is safely back and recovering from the change in temperature from Portugal.
It seems to have been a good holiday- except for the food.
Nothing wrong with it, but little choice unless you like pork, tripe or salt cod. The wine and the port were very good

Anyway, courtesy of mrs & miss Grumble, here are a few pics of Porto (or is it Oporto).

View over city from Croft port cellars.



Another view over city...



A traditional boat used to transport Port casks..

Lovely. Never been to Portugal. I know my cousin has
been lots of time and her husbands moan was that they
served fish nearly every day at the Hotel. He doesn't
like fish. Otherwise he liked it

Lovely pictures they've taken. In the last picture is that a Sandeman Port Man at the end of the boat in his hat and cloak? He looked familiar to the man in the advert that use to be on telly years ago..

Yes it is. The Sandeman cellars are along the side of the river.

Both the 'girls' love fish and were disappointed at the lack of seafood - chicken too seemed to be missing.

We're off again in September to Lisbon and younger daughter says that there are some great seafood resturants there.

Lovely pictures GW.
We went to Albufeira in Portugal a few years ago . It was lovely - no shortage of fish or chicken then.
It was there I discovered a love of chicken piri piri and oh those sardines they were grilling on the beach - delicious....
