Melia Ria Aveiro

... plastic bottles around the edges. They were obviously expecting stormy weather. They left great heaps of rubbish all over the site.<br><br>We visited Aveiro the nearest town which lived up to its publicity we took the one photograph of their famous boats which was all the brochure had to offer.<br><br>We have become a novelty attraction as there are no other British around. After the activities of the weekend we moved on.<br><br>

Aveiro is a sweet little coastal town with great long white beaches for surfing and nice flat rivers for kiting. Jon got out kiting our first day there but unfortunately squeezed way too much Vaseline in his new bindings to really enjoy his ride. He was kiting in storm winds on our smallest kite, so no kiting for me. The surf was insane that day and no one was in the water. It kind ...

... uneventful except for Cohen announcing to the whole train that he had to "go poop" and throughly enjoying the giggles from the other passengers. We arrived at the house we rented mid-afternoon. After showing us the house, the owner was nice enough to take us to get some grocieres and show us a little of the village. Granja is a working fishing village where you can watch the fisherman ...

On Thursday, April 2, I left Cincinnati on a Spring Festival visit to members in Portugal and the Portuguese islands. My first stop was in northern Portugal, just north of Porto, on Friday afternoon, April 3. That afternoon I had my first instance (of many in this trip) of struggling to find a particular place or people. There was a period of about five ...

It's to happen. We missed our train to Porto so we are waiting for the next one wich is at 6.17. That meas we will have to take a taxi to get to airport before 8 not to loose the plane. Hope that we won't have more things like that... Anyway, we are ready, we are packed leaving in 20 min.

There are only two days left for our trip. It seems that for half of it I am going to travel alone as my french friend needs to come back to write an exam. We didn't found any accomodation in Frankurt and in Rome so we are going probably to stay in a hostel (still working on it). Anyway we've been already lucky so we cannot be in a whole :) ________________________ Music: Elsa Soares - Mas que nada

It's seems that we are lucky. Today we got a response from girl in Bratislava so still need just two places to stay. Hope we will find them as quick as this ones :) What is more I'm now trying to get some informations in the internet about places which we should see. As I wrote before we won't use any guide besides ones in real. Music: Camiel - Take me to this place

... sajandit kahanes elanike arv 2/3 võrra; täna elab seal ca 56 500 inimest. 1808. a raius Barra kanal tagasi tee ookeanini ning Aveiro hakkas taas jalgu alla võtma. Peatusime seal vaid selleks, et jalgu sirutada ja päikest nautida; pildistasime &#382;igulis istuvad meest, kes oli ilmselt oma autoga ühevanune; tegime kesklinnale tiiru peale ja peale paari jäätist jätkasime sõitu.

... the library, reading an author from Mozambique that just won some prize. His tales are good stuff. Days 9-10 - Tomar The rain gave me a break the next morning, and after some hours lost due to credit cards and bank problems I finally managed to pay the pension bill and leave Portalegre dry and without the police chasing me. This time I chose a not so good hitch-hiking spot on purpose so I could stay before the road fork that divides west- from northwards traffic and leave ...

... as obviously they had just won the football. The next day i managed to drag my 24 kg bag around the town in search of the Pensao Duas Nacoes, alot cheaper at £14 with a 15 min phone call back home only 1£ and fairly cheap internet too. I then walked around for a bit found a rather cool pet market mostly selling birds and fishies, later i went walking down by the water. Quite a happening town ...
