Magical Mistery Tour around Matosinhos

Dinner at the river with a lovely view on Porto and with the almost full moon was a success! The wine from Dao was great as well, and in Patricio's home a second bottle was already awaiting us. We talked and talked, and then we talked some more, and all of a sudden it kind of was 2 a.m. I went to bed, and my host went partying with some friends.
So no picknick by the seaside in the morning, as planned, but two verrry tired people with lots of coffee, that didn't acutally help a lot.
I had meant to go visit the museum of modern arts, and the music hall, but was sooo exhausted, I just about made it to the famous bookstore near the university, and then couldn't make up my mind to admire arts.
Instead I remembered the magical mistery bus tour (Beatles, ages ago, like last century) and got onto the next bus coming. It took me back to Matosinhos, but not to the north, where I started, but to the southern beaches.
Great! A nice walk along the coast enjoying the sun and the sea were just the right thing for me to do. I strolled leasurely southwards for about two hours, then decided to take a second chance and the very next bus.
Luckily enough there was a busstop right at the spot where I tried to get up the steps to the road. It took me furtheralong the coast to the Sao Bento station, from where I went right back to the north of Matosinhos and this nice internetcafe.
I wonder how long we'll manage to stay awake tonight?
