Day 2: en route to Porto

Oh what a long night.  Trying to sit and sleep is never easy.  The seats were decently comfortable but the temperature fluctuated between warm and cool. Upon arriving to Lisbon we once again reserved out train tickets to Coimbria and then finally ending the day pin Porto. Coimbra is this cute little city that is filled with hills and is pretty much a university town.  As we walked down the main walking street we were followed by musicians playing music for everyone's enjoyment.  It added to the atmosphere.  Being Sunday it was very quiet all around, but also the city is known as a university city so that also added to the empty streets.  A few weeks ago we would have been right in the middle of the end of the year celebrations. After wandering around, we boarded the train again to head over to Porto.  An hour latter we were in Porto.  After dropping off our things at our hotel we went out to wander to find something for dinner.  Being a Sunday it proved to be challenging but in the end we found a nice little place that had really good white sangria, along with dinner foods and finally ending the night with dessert.
