Today we changed hostel, we relocated closer to the Atlantic ocean. We arrived around 11am, but of course check in is later, so we took out swimming gear and left the hostel for the day. Outside of the hostel there is a small supermarket (Pingo Doce), really convenient. We bought our picnic for later and went along the Rio Douro all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.

Once we reached the seaside, we realised the ocean was turbulent and the wind really strong. But we found, between two quay walls (separating the ocean and the entrance to the river), there was a cove. We took shelter against the wall to be protected from the wind, and could enjoy a really warm day at the beach.

After soaking up the sun, and swimming a little in the Atlantic ocean, we continued our walk, along the ocean this time, and headed towards a big park called Parque da Cidade.

After some lazy time on the grass, we headed back to the hostel. Along the ocean at first and then along the Douro river. 12 km in total!!

Back in the hostel they gave us our rooms, we are in segregated dorms, on different floors. Knackered we went for dinner to a pizza place really close to the Hostel.
Slept in seperated dorms in Pousada de Juventude / Porto Youth Hostel.
