Sunny Porto and dodgy Chinese in Frankfurt

So Jemma's 21st celebrations didn't exactly go to plan.
In the last post I said we were feeling a bit worse for wear. To begin with, I thought our bodies were just paying the price for consuming too much beer and sausage, but turns out we were poisoned!
Chinese in Frankfurt sounded like a good idea at the time... but we paid for it dearly, Kel and Jem more so than me.
We spent most of the first two days in Porto at our hostel, although I did venture out on my own to do some shopping at the nearby plaza on the second day.
We were pretty peeved considering the Chinese restaurant was the fanciest we had all been to. And we paid about 15€ each for the pleasure! If it was a scummy restaurant at least we could've blamed our own stupidity.
Kel´s beau Alex was also worse for wear, but apparently Freddy and Richard ate again at the same restaurant the following night! Not sure how Ash, Jess and Jacinta pulled up.
Anyway, we finally ventured out into Porto last night, but there was nothing really happening being a Monday. The guy at our hostel recommended a rock n roll bar, but when we arrived (at midnight) we, and Elka a girl we met at the hostel, were the only ones there!
I guess the highlight of our stay in Porto was visiting Mirimar beach. And also heading down to the river (the times we weren't feeling ill anyway).
