lanetomlane Posted September 26, 2016 Share #61 Posted September 26, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dan, are you and Ritsuko interested in meeting up on Wednesday night in Porto? Sounds like there could be at least five of us. Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Hi lanetomlane, Take a look here Porto Factory Tour - 13/10/16. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lanetomlane Posted September 27, 2016 Share #62 Posted September 27, 2016 Wife Fatima and I - both Leica users - live in Porto and would be pleased to meet you for dinner on Wednesday 12. Also, let us know if you need any help with city info, logistics, etc. We will gladly help if we can. Paulo Silveira may also be available to join us for dinner, not sure though. Jose Yeah it would be great to meet up for dinner. One question; do you have the address of the Leica factory, as I will be driving there? Andy was kind enough to give me an address which he thought was it, but somehow or another I can't find it now. Thanks & regards Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanetomlane Posted September 27, 2016 Share #64 Posted September 27, 2016 That's good news Dan, which hotel is that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Bachmann Posted September 27, 2016 Share #65 Posted September 27, 2016 That's good news Dan, which hotel is that? It's called the Fine Arts Guesthouse, Porto. Appropriate for fine artists like ourselves I think they still have another room for that night too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appropriate for fine artists like ourselves I think they still have another room for that night too! Thanks Dan but we've already booked and paid for the hotel. Perhaps Jose could suggest a time and place to meet, maybe somewhere central and easy to find. We also need to consider Simon's flight arrival time into Lisbon. We leave this coming Sunday and are very much looking forward to seeing everyone again. Cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tom How about meeting at 7pm at a downtown pub called "Bonaparte Downtown", located at "Praça Guilherme Gomes Fernandes 40"? It is a nice place to meet and have a beer. We could then have dinner at one of the many restaurants neaby by walking distance, at some convenient time. Restaurants in the city operate with very extended hours.

DigitalHeMan Posted October 13, 2016 Share #77 Posted October 13, 2016 That was a very nice and interesting experience, thank you Paulo (and John and Andy) for organising it. It's amazing to see how much manual work goes into the production process, and i think it goes a long way to justifying the prices that Leica charge Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
