Beautiful Coimbra

Near miss with going to the wrong train station this morning! Pics of the train station just for fun. Anyway made it here. Had a traditional breaky...yummo. Found an app Bounce which provides places to store luggage should you need to and dumped my pack. What a stunning town, albeit fucking hilly. Resembling mountain goat country with cobblestone roads and paths.... walk slowly through to the University which was mind blowing. Facilities of medicine (do you recognize anything in my pics).
The Ceremonial Hall, the Jesus College...I shit you not this place housed the Cabinet of Physics and Natural History Gallery.
Pic of traditional university uniform which is still worn today but only if you choose to do so. There were stones from Australia in there and some very odd displays of nature (I think), the Road Palace and St Michael's Chapel.
Se Velha, yes I went into a church it was stunning.
Then the Old Library. (Joanne), this was mind blowing. Sorry no pics allowed. Super old books and bats live in there to "take care of" the rodents.
Time for a glass of Rose and a bite to eat then a Fado show. Slow walk back to my quirky Air BNB via aldi!
34+k steps.
Lisbon tomorrow.Read more
