The internet is acting up here right now ... I'm barely able to upload pictures....
Today, Porto was on the menu. First, the only and thus last critique of this city: you can only find a few streets where you're not either going downhill or uphill. The result for the author was that either the knees hurt or there were distinctly audible breathing noises, some might say - puffing - was noticeable.
But enough complaining. This city offers unbelievably beautiful perspectives, no matter where you look. Whether around the Douro River or in the (old) town, every alley and every street brings surprises again and again. The external structure of some houses may seem questionable, but according to locals, many houses are top-notch restored and modernized inside. However, you cannot say the same about many streets; the popular cobblestones are a real Tesla killer (anyone who has ever ridden in a Tesla knows what I'm talking about).
So I strolled through narrow alleys, climbed down the hill and back up, up and down again, took the cable car, and let the city affect me. Porto, I like you immensely.
