Duoro River Cruise

We’ve visited some more areas around Porto. Here’s an old trick. When somebody buys a plot of land in the city, they are limited to how close the building can come to the street. If you want a larger house, you can’t extend the ground floor, but you can extend the second, and even extend further on the third floor. Here’s a great example. Notice the poles that support the extended floor and balcony.

All this is quite interesting, but the focus for the last day has been the river boat ride. We enjoy beautiful vistas outside our floor-to-ceiling windows. We can even open the window to enjoy the weather as well as just the view. Here’s a picture of our ship. It’s easy to have a good time.
