We did some budget travelling with my friend over the weekend. We only invested in food. To get the true feeling about the country, we even got "lucky" and were in the middle of a train strike. We were going from Aveiro to Coimbra, tried to buy a ticket half an hour before the train was supposed to leave but the clerk said "oh, one train is supposed to leae in 30 minutes but we're not sure yet if it will go or not." The train was there, but apparently they were not certain if the driver would show up. Same happened today when coming back, the clerk said "come back 15 minutes before the scheduled time and then we'll know if there is a train or not".
In Coimbra we ate a lot, got lost, eneded up uninvited in a party, listened to Fado of Coimbra and stayed in a suspicious but cheap pensionate. Now I'm back in Porto, exhausted and happy to be home.
