Thanks Maria.
Just arrived in Porto. Looks like a great place so far. Weather not too good though.
I am in Paris for a whileā¦the beer here is
All tastes the sameā¦soapy
Yeahā¦ You donāt go to Paris for the beer. Stick to wine.
Pelforth Brune isnāt terrible.
However the wine and eau de vie is much better. Eau de vie is Armagnac and Cognac but from else where if you didnāt know).
Francesinha. You need Francesinha. Iām told itās great with beer (even though Iām not a beer person).
Fair play. You seem to get around a fair bit.
Just thought the French add syrops and apperitifs. The āinā thing is Picon. Makes it taste even worst imo but ā¦
Porto update - the city is beautiful, food delicious, wine marvellous, weather filthy.
I heard the hospitals are as well however you do get treated!
The sunās out!
Donāt mind you fannying about holidaying all over the place. Just remember: do not cross the equator twice in quick succession during the season. You basically cost us the FA Cup, Premier League and Europa League with your āmove down under, then oh lets go back to civilisationā trick last season.
Iāll be contributing to Australiaās hot air crisis later this year.
Thanks for your welcoming words.
Itās a one way ticket if you do it during the season, mate.
Porto latest - Bloody marvellous when the sunās out. One full day is not enough.
Missus is itching to shop, but have managed to divert her so far.
Everytime I hear Porto, I have to think of that woman from Saxony, who wanted to book a flight to Porto, but ended up getting a ticket to Bordeaux, because of her dialect. Went to court as well (she lost btw).
Iām not a fan of Port unfortunately, but there are dozens of companies on the other side of the river Cockburnās, Taylorās, Grahamās, Fonseca etc etc.
