Lisboa to Porto

It's noon here in Lisboa and I find myself on a very hot train to Porto. Why, might you ask, am I on a train to Porto? Because I have dreamed of seeing the vineyards of the Douro valley for years and being in Portugal for the race yesterday I couldn't resist the opportunity. Buying tickets I had to guess which way was forward facing for both trips, and I got it right for at least this leg. Now I just need to find a hotel for the next few nights. Unfortunately the wifi on the train is pretty spotty...

A half hour into the trainride I caught sight of the first vineyards. I am looking out the right window of the train and the country is mostly flat. I will not accomplish as much as I planned on this trainride because in addition to no wifi I've also got some awesome motion sickness happening.
