Red Bull Air Race

We travelled up the country through very boring landscape by bus (3.5 hours).  The long distance buses are extremely new and comfortable.

We arrived in Porto to realise that the Red Bull air race would be on the day we leave for Paris!  Coincidentally Kim had his Red Bull airshow cap around town … from the event in Perth last year.  Some of the support crew here thought he was part of the event … we should have played along and may have got some perks!  Then someone asked him for his cap a souvenir!

The riverbanks and waterfront of Porto are full of atmosphere. More of that tomorrow. Inland, away from the river, it is very Parisian as you can see from the photos below.
