Hi All,
I'm planning to arrive in Porto about 10am on a Saturday (flying in). I'm hoping to post off extra stuff to Santiago so that I can begin walking on Sunday. I'll be travelling/volunteering for a few weeks before this so I'll have a few extra clothes.
My questions basically relate to whether it is realistic to plan to do this.
1. Is the post office in Porto open Saturdays? Looking online I saw that many post offices are open Saturday morning.
2. If it is open is it realistic to assume I can (if my flight is on time) get to the post office from the airport before it closes.
3. Will a post office in Portugal sell me some kind of package to post the stuff in (a small box or similar)?
4. Am I going to struggle to take care of all of this without speaking a word of Portuguese?
Any tips on how workable this is would be great. I don't have the time to post it before I fly and I don't have time to wait around until Monday to start walking.
