Just returned from Portugal this morning - visited Porto, Lisbon & Sintra.
Quite a packed trip... felt like we accomplished a lot in the short span of 4 days.
The highlight was perhaps visiting a brewery in Porto. Sandeman, the brewery name was.
Appreciated how Port is actually grape juice that is partially fermented (as compared with wine which is fully fermented grape juice), to produce alcohol yet leaving some sugar to give it the sweet taste. Bought a bottle, for everyone back home to try! So prepare to get drunk :P
Also learnt that Port wine is named after the city of Porto, which is so named because it's a port. And a port is a gateway or entrance.
Will be packing up, and leaving in the next few days for Eastern Europe.
Also, got the reply from astar, and will be doing an internship with them again over summer. Quite looking forward to that...
yup, not too long now, will be home in another 2 weeks! see everyone soon...
