I am really enjoying Porto, except for the feeling of having to DO ALL THE THINGS.

But I think I shall go and catch the train across the river this evening to the gardens on the hill and maybe watch the sunset from there (if I don't get crushed by the madding crowds).

I am thinking about an all-day tour tomorrow, to a national park with some waterfalls and suchlike. I was out on an all-day tour of the Douro vallue yesterday, though. And did a walking tour this morning...

eta: tour is booked out, so it will be a quieter day tomorrow. The alternative that I tried to book fell through (he said he had an accident and won't be doing tours until next week, but I suspect that it's as simple as "there's only one person who's booked for this tour and so it's not worth it").

Probably just as well.

I've heard nothing but good things about Portugal from friends and co-workers.
