Riverside Walk
We had our breakfast with our new found friends and had plans to go to the Saturday morning market.
It just so happened that the market is not on until March, so we couldn’t do that.
We all walked towards the river, stopping for a coffee on the way.
We started walking down beside the river, until we were getting hit by rain and hailstones, so we changed our plan of action and walked towards downtown.
We went into a few quirky shops and looked around a bit before we all decided we were tired and wanted to go back to the hostel.
The people we were with went for a trip quite far away to a waterfall but we relaxed for a bit as we didn’t sleep great last night.
We did go out briefly to grab a slice of pizza, which we got from somewhere called ‘Escape From New York’.

Beer & Spirits Festival
In the evening, we went to a beer and spirits festival.
We got an Uber to a brewery which had tents full of ‘parings’ of a beer and a spirit. We were given 10 tickets for our $25 every fee. This got us different drinks depending on what we chose.
We had a pairing to start, but the beer wasn’t great so we just went around and had a few different spirits. There was a cool band playing and making it a pretty good atmosphere
We left after not too long and being a little tipsy, we got back in an Uber and went back to the hostel.
Dinner
We got back and saw some people from our hostel but then we needed dinner so we walked to a place called August Moon for some Chinese food.
The food wasn’t tremendous and neither was the service, but it did do the job.

Arcade Bar
Later in the evening, after dinner, we went with one other person to an arcade bar called Ground Kontrol.
This place is a bar in which there are a lot of oldschool arcade machines and pinball machines.
We paid $3 entry each and then each machine was between 25c – 75c.
We played for an hour or two but didn’t need any drinks so didn’t buy any of those.

The place was pretty cool and unique, a little busy and warm and all the good games are always taken, but it was worth it!

We got back and it was pretty late so therefore bedtime.
We leave Portland at 19:00 tomorrow.
We’ve had a really great time here and met some great people, so we’re really happy we’ve done this trip.
