2026-04-28 When the moon hits your eye

 


Today we continued our exploration of the city and decided to walk over the river to Nova de Gaia and see what we could see. It's a very interesting walk with lots of structures and architecture to enjoy as well as a beautiful garden (jardim) immediately on the other side of the Dom Luís I Bridge. The bridge provides pedestrian as well as a metro line passage.

After walking through/around the Jardim do Morro, we encountered a corner that had 3 Italian Restaurants.  So, we plopped down outside the first one and were excited to see the selection of beers included not only a favotite, Ichnusa, but also Messina. So, we ordered some drinks and enjoyed the weather and people/car/metro watching. JR sketched some and then the food came.


So, in our defense, the pizza was €8 and we thought it would be smaller so we each ordered what we wanted - Margherita and Diavola. That's ok though, we have a bag we always carry and we could take it home for dinner. Well, the pizzas were so delicious we demolished them both. Another great day.
