Glaswegian couple living now on Spain's Costa del Sol. Your description of Porto has me looking at Ryanair for a cheap flight there from Malaga. Nicely written

Beautifully photographed (and written)... You make the reader (at least in my case) feel what you were feeling. I enjoyed the subtle nods to the Forth Road Bridge too! Maybe now that I'm on my own I'll pick up the courage to travel like you do, instead of vicariously. Who knows. "Travel for the solitary 80 year old" maybe! :-)

thank you! and yes, I used to know a woman who would go walking in Crete every summer at 80 - or maybe just a nice comfy train to Venice:)

Truly fascinating - I could ‘feel’ what you were experiencing.
