Out of the Jurisdiction: Odibos and Coimbra


On the way to Porto from Lisbon, we stopped at Odibos, a charming hill town with an old castle that has been turned into an inn and a lively shopping street.


The last stop before Porto was in Coimbra, a university town, one of the oldest in the world.
We toured the university.  Here is a chapel's elaborate ceiling and part of an ornate gilded decoration.

I like that first photo. You are making me think a visit to Portugal is in order.

Staying the night at the castle would have been fun.

That ceiling decor is quite a sight.
