Residencial Azevedo 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>

... they were hardcore). Good thing we opted for the boogie boards because once in the water, the waves were massive and the undertow was insanely strong. Our hostel was amazing and the owner was chill and helped us map out some cool surf and kite spots along the coast.<br><br>http://picasaweb.google.c om/Jonny.D.Lawrence/20091007Aveiro?auth key=Gv1sRgCOOE_tn74bSSKA&amp;feat=direc tlink

... at his watch, then Bruce look at his watch, then Albert look at his watch etc. (you get the picture), and listening to some Portuguese swear words, we finally made it to the train station with 30 minutes to spare. In true Albert and Maria style, they came right onto the train with us, helped us find our seats, got our luggage stored, and our lunch set up. The boys, of course, asked why ...

... And boy, we are glad we did not miss it. The Igreja da Santissima Trindade (Church of the Holy Trinity) here could easily be compared to the Vatican in Rome. It was simply awesome with huge grounds in the front &amp; was lit up well. There was some Christmas ceremony going on inside.<br><br>Finally, we drove to Hotel Oslo in the University town of Coimbra. More than half ...

... tänaseni näha mosaiikpõrandaid ning mitmete ehitiste vundamente. Osad nendest on nüüdseks saanud algse kuju, ehk siis vundament on originaal, kuid peale ehitatud osa on valgest kivist, et välja tuua kontrast kuipalju alustaladest on säilinud. Vanasti elati väga-väga suurejooneliselt, saime jälle kinnituse. Kindlasti tasub seal ära käia, sissepääs on kõigest 3&#8364;, mis sisaldab varemete ja muuseumi külastust.

... oli seal tõepoolest igal pool luuramas, hoolimata sellest, et oli pühapäev, linn totaalselt välja surnud ja poed suletud. Seetõttu polnudki seal muud teha kui käia ülikooli juures luusimas ja osta paar suveniiri. Ülikooli hooned on väga võimsad, nagu oleks Rooma aega ära eksinud. Kahjuks me sees ei saanud käia, aga juba väljast paistis kõik vägagi impressive. Kuna sattusime sinna palmipuude püha ajal, siis nägime juhuslikult pealt ka tseremooniat, mida sel puhul ...

Portugali Veneetsia? Vähemalt nii seda kutsutakse, kuigi, olgem ausad, päris Veneetsia on ikka..Veneetsia :) Kuigi tõepoolest on seal mõni kanal, kuid see on ka ainuke paralleel Päris Kanalite linnaga. Aveiro oli vanasti üsna tähtis sadamalinn, kuid 1570ndatel kannatas ta suure tormi all, mis blokeeris jõesuudme, mistõttu laevad ei saanud enam ookeanini välja sõita. Järgmised ...

Rano sme sa vybrali k Atlantiku a kedze sme sa este na tomto vylete nekupali vybrali sme si predposledne mestecko pred Spanieskymi hranicami na to, aby sme sa trochu v nom omocili. Ti co ste sa uz niekedy v Atlantiku kupali mi potvrdite, ze sa rozhodne nemusite bat, ze by ste sa pri plavani v nom velmi rozhorucili. Nasli sme tu vsak skvelu plaz a prisli sme prave vtedy ked ju ...

... told us before hand! That explains why no one there speaks spanish! The hate spain! Anyway, I filled out a police report in Portuguese (again, interesting task) and borrowed some tape and a plastic bag to repair the window. Thank goodness my Daddy taught me how to ghetto rig, this window was lookin' snazzy. So, minor details, we traveled on. Next stop Brago! Don't go there, it sucks. Totally boring. Then we headed to the national park ...

... a friend, and on the bus we met two nursing students who live there. They were very friendly, took us to their house, fed us dinner, and gave us a place to sleep. <br><br>Now I'm in Coimbra, and I came here to see a forest. I should actually be going now to catch my bus. If this internet connection weren't so slow this letter would be longer. It took me a whole hour to read the 15 letters I had (50 minutes waiting, 10 minutes reading). More later
