Coimbra

We are now in Figueira da Foz which is about 100 miles south of baiona. The weather has certainly improved thank goodness after a very unsettled August. I have been home to see my mum and other relatives, also acquiring goods for the boat.

I arrived back in Porto and revisited the Taylors port cellars and had a great lunch which off course included  many glasses of port (We went for a tasting session before lunch) over looking Porto

On recommendation from a lot of other yachties we went for a day trip inland to the very old city of Coimbra., Well worth the visit, walking up the old cobbled streets to the 16^th century university with great views over the city and surrounding countryside.
