| Nigerian Headstones |
We headed north to Porto. Our primary stop was the Alianca Underground Museum. The cellars which used to be used to age wine are now used to house an eclectic collection of 1000 year old headstones from Niger, stone statues from Zimbabwe, minerals, fossils and petrified wood from Brazil, Portuguese ceramics, and modern frescoes. The cellars still have barrels to age wine and brandy, as well as bottles of sparkling wine. The tour ended with our sampling of sparkling wine.

We had lunch in the town of Aveiro, known for its canals which were historically used to feed the salt flats.

After lunch we headed for the Douro Spirit, our riverboat, for the next seven days.
