Sao Joao Da Pesqueira - 15 October 2018

Delayed our departure due to the rain. Once we got going, very scenic drive along the Douro river then up into the clouds towards S J Da Pesqueira. There were some beautiful views to see but not today. Waited for the drizzle to ease off and had a 2 hour walk to town and back.

Drove for about 2 hours up and down the hills alongside the Douro river. Best drive of the trip. Parked up alongside the river and went for a ride. Kay’s nose sniffed out a vineyard and we’re booked on a tour for tomorrow. No tours today as a wedding was taking place while we were there.
