Porto Part Two

We returned to Porto for our final full day in Portugal. In the morning we went to a winery that has an amazing garden as well called Aveleda. There were many different species of trees including a very old eucalyptus tree that was huge. The gardens had many different types of plants and were lovely to walk through. After, we had a wine and cheese tasting, both from their winery.
In the afternoon, we had some free time. Some went into Porto to explore. Darren, Karen and I went across the bridge to Gaia (the town on the other side of the river) to go for a river walk. During the bus ride back from our garden/winery visit, Darren and I spotted a boardwalk along the river and we decided to explore. It took us a bit to find it but I really enjoyed the walk.
Finally, our last dinner on the boat. We got to go to the specialty restaurant, Portobellos. It had a number of courses, all very good. We really enjoyed our time on the Scenic Azure.
