Another beautiful sunny day in the busy city of Porto. And a day spent painting by the Douro in Vila Nova de Gaia for some:

Tasting some port wine for others:

Taking a ferry across the river:

Or whisking up high on a cable car:

Or — sadly and frustratingly — cabbing it to the airport (twice) to retrieve suitcases that had not accompanied seven passengers between Lisbon and Porto. Two suitcases remain missing and TAP and Groundforce have not been helpful — the lost baggage guy doesn’t even know where Pinhão is (our next destination tomorrow)!

Meanwhile back at art central, Ev gave an afternoon demo and our talented troop produced some fantastic watercolour art of the old Rabelo-style boats on the Douro.

So it’s adeus to Porto and upriver to the vineyards tomorrow. Have to leave you with one final view of the city taken from a new tourist destination called WOW (World of Wine) in a magnificent complex in Vila Nova de Gaia.
