Porto, Statues and Street Scenes
Posted in Cruise, Trips at 10:00 on 2 April 2017
Coming out of Trindad Metro station we headed downhill. Almost the first thing we came across was this delightful pavement:-
Imagine that in a city in the UK!
It ran down by the side of an extremely impressive building which I believe is the City Hall:-
The huge plaza below it led to a road junction beside which was an equestrian statue of Don Pedro IV (Dom Pedro IV – and I of Brazil) aka “The Liberator”:-
Further into the city I found this statue of Henry the Navigator, of whom I had learned when I visited Lisbon in my extreme youth:-
This road train just trundled along as we were in a leafy square in Porto:-
