Here I am. I landed at Lisbon and took the subway over to Oriente. It was only a few months ago I was on the subway here so I ride it like a pro now. I’m currently sat on the train to Coimbra. ETAOkumaya devam et

Wow, wow, wow ! For Sunday afternoon there’s a lot of noise. Everywhere I went I could hear music. People were dancing in the streets. It’s like I’d walked onto a set of a musical. I coveredOkumaya devam et

So this place is a bit of a fail for me. It’s ok but not much to see or do. I added a couple more miles to my step count so ended my day on 18 miles. The walk out of Mealhada tomorrow looks goodOkumaya devam et

Yes need to get a drink and cereal bar for the journey up. Perhaps a coffee somewhere. Meal deal for lunch pop to co op on Saturday before work get some bits then coffee in a garage. Will need to eat or feel weak.
GezginObviously not for you🤣😂. Lovely room you will get lost in that bed!! See blue tiles are still on buildings. Like the metal art works.
REEBANOCO aka SharionIm heading to Porto which happens to be covered in blue tiles so should get some good pics there. This bed is heavenly im sprawled out airing my feet 🤣

The video is a chicken stealing fruit off the tree. As is walked up the damn thing was hopping up and down and as soon as I got my phone out it got camera shy. I waited and waited and finally I won 🤣

I actually really like this but I bet it doesn’t do enough miles on a charge

So today we skipped forward as the Oldies can’t walk from Porto. We took the train to Vigo where we splashed out on an Uber to bring us to Baiona. I wanted to come back here as I didn’t explore itOkumaya devam et
