What happens when a nine-hour flight delay turns into a whirlwind adventure through Portugal's most captivating regions? We'll share the highs and lows of our journey, starting in the vibrant city of Porto with its energetic college students and stunning river views. From there, we take you on a picturesque cruise down the Douro River and explore the historic charm of Guimarães, the birthplace of Portugal. Bob and I also dish out our humorous thoughts on the best spots to try Pastel de Nata and why ketchup should never touch the beloved pastry.
But our adventure took a dramatic turn as we faced the terrifying reality of Portuguese wildfires. Hear about our nerve-wracking reroute from Coimbra to Alentejo, navigating smoke-filled highways with our steadfast driver, Josette, at the helm. Despite the chaos, we found solace in the beauty of the Douro Valley and the deep passion of local winemakers. This episode captures the blend of peril and pleasure that defined our unforgettable journey, with every twist and turn adding to the rich tapestry of experiences we can't wait to share with you.
