Today was a good day! Unusually, I felt today after rising significantly older than the day before. This could be because, that has as so often started in previous years once another year of life for me. At a birthday cake with candles Katya has waived this time, because he has looked like a torchlight in the past year. A "YES" cake with a candle has done instead excellent service.

So now but an end to the whining, because there are also quite many advantages. On the one hand there was an egg, although it was not Sunday, and on the other hand I knew, that Katya had prepared a surprise. In all seriousness, I had firmly expected, that I would get a coloring book and crayons many. Had me so much fun with the 6 to paint old young lady "Alia" from the catamaran "JOY OF LIFE" funny animals and had amused me more than delicious. Also, I could not imagine the best will, as my wife could still surprise me. But how could the!

A hammock! What I had really annoyed, that I had finally found a hammock in Porto and Katja she has talked me out of the store. "The color I do not like! We also find a more beautiful! Far too expensive ... .. "Their arguments were! Even in retrospect, I did not go the part of the head. And now the luxury version was in front of me on the table and I was really happy! I always wanted to have your own hammock, therein to chill extremely comfortable. My wife is already class!

After breakfast we have for our fellow sailors of the MENTOR and JOY OF LIFE 19:00 Clock agreed to a joint dinner. To the energy balance between calories degradation (Movement) to keep and calorie intake as reasonably plumb, we are at noon along with Jana, Alia started and Lars of the JOY OF LIFE to a day spent exploring the western part of the city in the old fishing district "Behlem". About 4 Hours it went uphill and downhill past very poor households (to say the least!) and luxurious new homes, built directly "house to house", left a mixed impression with us. We have seen a world, which seems strange and unreal to us, but it is also a part of the real-life. Easiest to take out yourself to Lisbon and forms their own opinion. Travelling educates and connects I've heard.

In the evening we had a few more miles on the clock and our feet had walked around. The way the restaurant are offered in the mainly seafood, but was not yet too far. The hope for a delicious time was also fully entitled, for the numerous guests were mostly Portuguese and the tables were all occupied quickly. Waltraud and Wolfgang but still had a surprise up his sleeve. Suddenly a small red candle on the table next to it was a packet of, even beautifully packaged. I had a lot of fun, enjoyable to open it, then to hold a special cap with vacuum cups for good wine or Port wine in his hands at the end. Exactly this I had wished, to our good port wines to properly reseal. As we learn in Porto at our wine tasting, or not a port wine with bottle fermentation after only a few days open and should be absolutely prevented by vacuum closure at oxidizing. Both of them are great and it's just fun, if you have such people around. I was grateful, I was able to experience a great day and look forward (contrary to my previous habit) even something on the next 6. September. 
