Hi David,

According to www.pkp.com.pl (Polish State Railways), there is a regular (every 90 minutes or so) train between Coimbra-Parque and Lousa, which takes 45 to 50 minutes.

I hope this helps with your plans.

Kind regards
Krys

Hi David,

I highly recommend you to spend a day in Aveiro (it's 1h by train). I think it worths a visit.

I will try to prepare some pictures and links about Aveiro in order to check if you'll be interested in visit the city.

How long are you going to stay? Will you have a car? If you like countryside and mountains and little villages I have other recommendations to you: Lousã and Serra do Açor.

Let me know if you'll be interested and I will prepare also pictures and links from the countryside (I will look for some sites in english)

Enjoy the planning of your trip :)

Regards,

Carla

Hello David,

My picture was taken on my trip to India. I was in the City Palace in Jaipur and there were signs all over the plan with 'no tipping', so when they offered to take a picture with me I accepted. But to my surprise they then proceed to ask for a tip, right in front of the sign.... But I must admit I was happy with the outcome.

Thanks for noticing
Amanda

Thanks David,

I will post some more today. I will upload some photos soon, and I plan to write three or four reports; perhaps on Shiraz, Persepolis, Yazd and Isfahan. I really had a great time there - I cannot believe I was there just yesterday...

Best regards,
Krys

That looks good a short trip to Coimbra. I can't help you as we have only been to the Algarve (which we hated) and Lison (which we liked). Enjoy your trip (still a long way off)

I am chuffed. I really did not expect that this, although great indeed, picture would win the POM. I am really happy, because it was truly a great day in Lamu. The lads took good care of me there!

Indeed the writing is a great example of how to turn science into a tourist trap. Thank you and I look forward to visiting that Walking Englishman site again. i had some fun walking in the mornings when I lived at Westwood near Trowbridge in Wiltshire for a time two years ago. The church there is mentioned in the Domesday book.
Slán for now

David,

Thanks for the comment about my report; it made me laugh and I agree Dubai is a bit of a oddity...

LOL
