Daniela’s blog
Posted 24th October
Last month I went with my family to Portugal. We flew by plane from London to
Porto. The flight was terrible! … We missed the first plane because it was foggy.
We waited for hours at the airport to get another plane.
We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel and went across the city. The traffic was
bad and the journey took a long time. The hotel was great, though. It was a small
building close to the shops. The breakfast wasn’t amazing. It was just bread, butter
and cheese – and I didn’t like it.
After breakfast each day, we went for a long walk to the River Douro and saw the
beautiful, painted boats. I liked them a lot, so I took hundreds of photos.
One day, we went up the hill to the city centre. We then stopped at a nice café and
had some delicious cakes. Then we went shopping in one of the modern shopping
centres. I think they are all right, but I prefer traditional shops where you can buy
old things.
Most of the time it was sunny, but some days were cloudy and it rained on the last
day. The weather wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t very good either.

0 . Activity 0: 0 We flew to Porto.

1 . Activity 1: _____ We walked to the river.
