Ryanair was having a sale and there were some lovely cheap tickets to places in Europe so I bought tickets to go to Porto in Portugal, knowing nothing at all about it!! I love Ryanair sales! 

I left London early and arrived in Porto just before noon. First stop was to drop my bags off at my hotel before going exploring! From booking knowing nothing about it, then doing a little research to work out some places to go, I wasn't prepared for what I felt as soon as I stepped out onto the street. I immediately loved it. Despite being December, it was not as cold as London and, more importantly, the sun was out! It stayed sunny and beautiful for most of the time I was there, and the light was amazing. 

My first day, I'm pretty sure I covered off most of the places I wanted to go to. It was just all so pretty and I was walking wide-eyed through the streets, taking a million photos of azelujos. Don't say I didn't warn you....
