Jim filled

A relaxing day today. We booked hotel rooms in advance over the internet and took the ferry across the river to Calcihas. There they have the smallest lighthouse we have seen so far overlooking a huge ship sailing upstream. There were three other cruise ships in port. Around the corner was an ex navy warship. It was built in 1834 which seems rather late for such a man o' war.







The purpose of going to Calcihas was to have calderada, a fish stew made of all the left over fish, potatoes in a lovely, light tomato-ish soup. Ours had skate and eel and was delicious. We managed to eat two great pots of it which is why Jim was full.


Later we ate sparsely at the theatre restaurant which features fado singers as well as "folk" dancers with an oompa band. Not enough singing too many fiddly feet.
