A Day Trip to Aveiro

We took a day trip today, an hour+ train ride south to Aveiro, the "Venice of Portugal"!

On the Camino, we had met an American woman now living in Portugal, who told us about Aveiro. She and her husband live there now.

It is a great little city, on a big bay set back from the coast, with a network of canals. The Gondola Canal boats are still taking tourists for 45 minute rides around the canals.

The weather was nice, cloudy but warm enough.
