Finally have my luggage issues sorted and feeling so much happier!! “Little Olive” was purchased (on special!!) in Sol Madrid and is my new travelling companion. Dinner last night with Mal and Di from Hamilton in Victoria. Had drinks in the Mayoral Square which was bustling with people and dinner at a restaurant/bar with a view across the beautifully lit square. Wandered the streets this morning and then we had a private bus transfer to Coimbra in Portugal. Passed through a lot of spanish countryside, flat with wheat fields. Then, into granite country with boulders and then into river valleys with more vegetation and smaller plots of cultivation. Architecture seems to be white houses with red tiled roofs. Passed a lot of gum trees, some of which looked loke plantations. had our “orientation’ and it is certainly a character filled place. All dined together at the local Portuguese grill. Does anyone remember Mateus Rose??
