Lenny's on the road to Portugal

[bigtree]

Porto - Yuck, dirty, tatty smelly city. The boss has lost a lot of brownie points by dragging me there.
Started off on the wrong foot, the ticket machine for the Metro/Tram did me out of €5.50. I was getting a 24hr ticket had the instructions in English, asked if I wanted 1 or 2 Titles. I assumed it meant 2 tickets/persons, nope it was 2 x 24hr on one ticket.

Went into one of the smaller port houses, they said we are the smallest so our Port is cheaper.
Cheapest bottle €25 up to €150, no thanks I'll stick to Lidl at €3.99.

I gave it a laugh for your comment on the Port price.

I guessed that's what it was for. ?

Have you managed to sell the extra 24hr ticket as looks like lots of potential punters on the aire.

Gave it to some Funsters, Paul & Leslie, they don't use the forum much weren't even sure of their username.

Didn't like it dirty smelly scruffy, and didn't find any one Euro bars, won't be going back.
I suppose anything is exciting after Corby.

 

[Northernraider]

I liked Porto but hey ho

 

[Potty]

Confused now. Intending to visit Porto next year. Is it worth it or not?

Nothing wrong with my home town. It has some noteworthy history and made a significant contribution to the success of the D-Day landings. Porto needs to be explored Lenny, there are some great Museums and the Church with all the gold covered sculptures where photography is barred. (I'll post you a picture). You need to get out more Chum. Mena says hello.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I would say yes . I had an advantage when I visited as I had a local guide, a guy I had met in villamoura lived in Porto so he had said when I visited to let him know and he would show me around.

There's lots of hidden gems there

Even the inside of the railway station is worth seeing

 

[Potty]

Thanks for the replies. Will probably give it a go although we don’t usually do large towns.

 

[PhilandMena]

There you go, Northernraider & I =1. Lenny HB =0. Again. !

 

[bobandjanie]

We love Porto Lenny, you started off wrong by paying, we park and walk along the river in 20 minutes. Bob.

Only paid for the tram.
Did consider going back in this morning but decided we really didn't like it. Loads of rubbish about everywhere you went even the main tourist areas stunk of piss.

 

[PhilandMena]

Your FLT image is slipping big time.

 

[Lenny HB]

How?
I was on a free Aire.

 

[Lenny HB]

By the beach now just north of Prair de Mira surrounded by sand dunes.

 

[Lenny HB]

PhilandMena Give Mena a big hug and kisses from us.

If you are reading this Mena give that old boy a clip and tell him to stop giving me greif.

Your right I have been a tad harsh on you today. Not the best way to treat a fellow FLT.

It’s Lenny HB we’re talking about here.
€30? What do you think? ?

Richard

 

[Lenny HB]

The boss says it was. I thought it was only €24 in October.
Some very steep hills and narrow bits between big rocks, not for the faint hearted.
