      The Ladies at the bus stops

      Nazaré May 6, 2013 at 1:43 AM

      I've decided that Nazare looks like a wonderful place to stop and relax in after I finish the Camino.
      However, I don't want to book ahead as I'm not sure when I will be finishing.

      I have heard of the Ladies that are at the bus stop and will offer rooms/houses for rent to people getting off the bus.

      Can anyone give me some advise in this?
      Is it safe for a single women to go with them?
      Do you haggle over the price? Do you pay up front or at the end?
      How do you know what kind of place you will be going to?
      I am wanting a private room and place to relax for a few days....will this be the best option for me?

      Sorry for all the questions :-)

      Lagos May 1, 2013 at 11:44 AM

      I'm thinking of taking a trip with two of my friends to Lagos in September. We're in our mid-twenties and would be going for the beach scene and night life. My only concerns are:

      1) the weather - will it still be nice in early September (6th - 15th)?
      2) the atmosphere - will there still be people our age visiting/partying?

      If you've been there during this time of year, please shed some insight - it would be much appreciated.

      Thanks!

      2. suggestion how to split days for visiting Porto, Lisbon, other places in portugal?
      3. what else other than porto and lisbon? other interesting places that worths the visit?
      4. Car hire: is it easy to find local car hire once in portugal or is it better to book in advance from AVIS/Hertz etc.?
      5. suggestions for cheap but decent hotels? We're not a 5-stars-suite guys but don't want to find bad surprises if the hotel is too cheap...
      6. what about the weather in june? warm? mild? rainy? short or long trousers? should we put a fleece and a wind jacket in the luggage just in case?
      7. any other suggestion? feel free to give your input please!

      visit on Good Friday

      Hello,
      We are planning to visit Coimbra for a day on Good Friday (29th of March). Will the Old University and other attractions be open? Should we expect anything special due to this holiday? (More crowd or less crowd or closures because of ceremonies, etc.)
      Sorry for my ignorance, but this is not observed in Hungary (only Easter Monday), therefore I am not sure what to expect.
      Thanks in advance

      Can you help me to find out if in Coimbra or Coimbra B stations are available services for leaving luggage for some hours whilest you visist the city? I would need also to know if train tickets allow you to make stops on your route. For example I come from Porto and go to Lisbon. Can I make a stop in Coimbra and take a later train to continue my trip or I can only by separate tickets from Porto to Coimbra and from Coimbra to Porto. Do the tickets have inscribed on them the number of the train so that they are valid only on that specific train number?

Here is my dilemma: I will only have a day and half in Coimbra (max - two days) and I am very interested in visiting three not very distant places. How do I get from Coimbra to Alcobaca, Batalha, and (hopefully!) Tomar and come back to Coimbra having very limited time? Please help with detailed information, i.e. - with what of those towns is b etter to start and with what to finish? what are the easiest connections/transfers between locations? Bus schedule will be the best response. Please help! I am on a very tight schedule ;-( Thanks!
