Saturday, September 3, 2022. Travel day from Santiago to Porto by bus and then a flight from Porto, Portugal to Bologna, Italy and a car from Bologna to Carpi.

Our stay in Santiago is over. We git out of the alburgue at about 10:30 and walked into Old Town Santiago on our way to the bus station. We waited around for an hour until the stir fry joint opened so we could get lunch before we got on the bus.

I just love this place. Cheap and delicious and nutritious. You can only eat so much pulpo.
Chicken stir fry loaded with veggies. The Spanish diet is not loaded with veggies.
After lunch we walked down to the bus station and boarded our bus for the 3 and 1/2 hour bus trip to the Porto Airport.
After an uneventful bus trip we arrived at the Porto Airport. We have six hours to kill before the flight takes off at 10:00 PM.
I am not quite sure why but this chocolate banana split drink at Starbucks at the Porto airport sounded and looked good. It wasn’t that good but it was chock full of calories.
I had another pastel nada. This is the national pastry of Portugal. It is a cup of puff pastry filled with a delicious egg custard.

That’s it for tonight. I will post tomorrow from Carpi, Italy.

I hope you had a great day today wherever you are. Good evening from the airport in Porto, Portugal.
