Wednesday 3 Oct Unusually , Orbitur San Pedro de Mielos camp site allows you to check out at 5 pm.instesd of the usual 12 noon Went for a short downhill circular cycle ride through the forest ,past the tallest eucalyptus tree in the forest next to the campsite , and followed the river stream until we reached the coast and cycled back along the red coastal cycle track , we stopped off at an idyllic beach bar and watched a donkey drink from a freshwater stream entering the sea ... The coast is one long beach with lots of wild camping spots for motorhomes Weather remains hot in the day 31 but cooler at night ( duvet back on ) and it will cool down to British temperatures at the weekend We went for a swim in the wonderful pool,had a late lunch , services replenishing stop and left at 3.45pm en route to Porto ,a really enjoyable campsite day , often the only people in a large beautiful clean but freezing cold pool Camped up in a docks car park in a fascinating working class district of Porto , everyone sits out in front of their houses in the evening , I remember this happening on rare sunny evenings in my childhood ! Ate out at a restaurant nearby on the first floor level with views out to the harbour , very efficient waiter , I chipped a tooth on a piece of grit served in the salad .Expensive salad it will turn out to be . The corn bread they serve with meals is delicious, brown spongy, nutty taste . Pateis de nata and creme leite our favourite Portugese desserts
