Lisbon to Porto - Sunday

Set off on the bus to Obidos, an hour north of Lisbon - a walled Roman Castle. Lovely to wander around, although set up for the tourists, lots of souvenir shops, chocolate tasting etc. Next was Coimbra, a very old University town. We were supposed to go through the University, however it was Students day, so it was closed to visitors. Instead, all the students took to the streets, making heaps of noise etc. Crawling up some of the old steep streets was one of the things they had to do, with empty cans tied stopping their feet. The noise was defining! Next to Aveiro, a very flat town nearly on the coast where we went round the canals in old boats, once used to harvest seaweed and salt. Beautiful old buildings, once again covered in tiles, also a bridge covered in ribbons... The Love Bridge. ❤️ Finally on to Porto and our boat. Rather small cabins, but adequate for our needs. 3 course dinner (lunch and dinner both 3 course, and all wine beer splits etc free!) Lots of German and French, only 4 kiwis, 2 Trinidad/Australians.Читать далее
