Sat 6 Oct Took the 9.10 am train from the tourist town of Regua to Ponicho which arrived at 10.48 ( 8€ each single ticket to photograph the Duoro valley in all its glory and in bright sunshine ) caught 11.10 train straight back ( next train after this was at 3 and nothing to do except hike and we decided that it was too hot for us to do that in the mid day sun ) to the mid point of the train journey at Pinhao ( €5 euro each ) Looked around pretty harbour of Pinhao for a while , tried to ignore the large cruise ships and the day boats hanging out there Back to Regua to pack up the van , stock up at Lidl in the nearby city of Vila Real and then on to a swish camp site costing €14.50 a night ( no ACSI accepted ) called Alvao Camping Village high up in the wild and rugged national park ( 1300 m) We were very tired when we got there at 7.30 pm just after dark and it was very cold ( all warm clothes put on very quickly )
