Fuga ao planejado
Hoje fugimos do roteiro planejado.
Mas foi uma escolha maravilhosa.

Visitiamo Coimbra
Oggi ci siamo dedicati alla visita di Coimbra.

E purtroppo non era la giornata adatta per me che non mi sentivo proprio bene...
Comunque ci siamo diretti in centro a visitare la Cattedrale vecchia che abbiamo trovato chiusa per ben due volte.
