I like Porto, I was circling around all day. Started by revisiting Praca de Liberdade, Clerigos and stopping for a history lesson at Sao Bento station. Then a longer stop at the Cathedral, and fast walk down the stairs to the riverfront. Many tourists around this part of the city. Meandering back up the hill to the Cathedral and the bridge via Praca do Infante Dom Henrique with Palacio da Bolsa. Crossed the river on the upper deck of Ponte Luis I, great 360 views. (The three pictures from the bridge/teleferico station are from the next morning when the lighting was better). Jardim do Morro is closed for renovation, so instead I spent an hour at the upper teleferico station and Largo de Aviz (in front of Mosteiro da serra do Pilar), doing nothing just looking around. In the afternoon, made my way back to Praca de Liberdade to watch people come and go to celebrate Apri 25 national holiday (Dia da Liberdade). Walked the length of Rua de Santa Catarina, slowly in a dense stream of people and watching street performers and UoP students in their traditional black gowns entertaining the crowd after graduation.

In the evening, returned to Cafe Majestic on Santa Catarina for a museum (the historic cafe) and dinner (bacalhau, codfish) combo.
