Up early for breakfast and went down to the river front for our boat tour only to find that the tour had been cancelled because of the virus.
Apparently all boats were cancelled but we walked 10 metres and were approached by a tour rep and he said there’s was still going. So we signed up for that one
About 5 other couples joined in and it was a pleasant run under the 6 bridges. Bit windy and cold but when the sun was out it was nice.
Wandered along the quay when it finished, and stopped for a beer at one of the few open cafes and then it started raining as forecast
We had a voucher for Port tasting so we went and found it and it was a good idea. Very nice cellar and location and the port was really nice. It was quite out of the way but very quickly fill up as other people with vouchers arrived! A group of 6 older women were there and one of them came over and filled out glasses from a bottle she’d bought. So that was nice.
More walking after that break as we meandered back towards the hotel, got our bearings etc
Snooze at the hotel and then back out in the evening.
More walking and detours down streets but it was good and so many sights to see. Stopped at a small restaurant with just 3 tables for a beer and a bread and cheese meal which we’d seen a number of times and finally treated ourselves...well worth it.
We then continued down to the river and found a very nice restaurant that we went in and had a decent meal. A young couple were getting turned away because they were full as we were finishing so we said wait a second and have our table but they then sat down and joined us and chatted for 10 mins about working and living in Holland etc. Nice enough couple
We made our excuses and left but ended up in a wine cafe that was really lively.
Stayed there for 3 more drinks and were quite tipsy walking home.
A nice day and evening done
