It finally happened, we lost our bags. After a very stressful trip in, and a sprint around the Amsterdam airport, we did our best to enjoy the city at night in Porto.

We took a day staying close to the hotel to retrieve our bags and saw some of the historical sites and beautiful artwork around the city. By the afternoon we were reunited with our belongings and we enjoyed a relaxed sunset on the river.

Ready to devote an entire day to crawling the port cellars we ventured across the river. We hit Offley, Taylor's, Calem, and Croft, and learned a lot about what makes port port. We also picked up a new addiction to port.

The travel hijinks continue in Portugal and we got booted from a train on our way to Lisbon. Luckily we figured out how to get the rest of the way there and were down in Alfama by nightfall. This is a neighborhood with charm, delicious food, and good music.

We focused on hitting the historical highlights of Lisbon on our first full day and visited Castelo de S. Jorge, Praca do Comercio, and the Belem Tower. We also sampled some of the best natas we have found and stopped off at a Banksy exhibit. This was a big walking day!

Sintra was the target for today, a quick train ride out of town from Lisbon. Sintra boasts some beautiful historic tourist attractions like the Quinta da Regeleira and Castelos dos Mouros.

For our final day in Lisbon we relaxed at the Eduardo VII park and caught up on some reading and posting. We also treated ourselves to a nice dinner at a corner restaurant in Alfama.
