Porto – for #winelovers' seminar and Port immersion event


 São Bento Station and beyond late afternoon

 Pleasant Ryanair flight!

We flew from Tours to Porto this morning on Ryanair. We haven't travelled on Ryanair for a while and I was amazed as the staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. I kept thinking I must have got on the wrong plane or was flying with another company......  

Here for a #winelovers event #IWS2016 – posts to follow.
