The next day Friday, May 24, I checked out of my hostel and boarded a train to Coimbra pronounced (queem-bra). I flagged a taxi to take me to a beautiful hostel on a hill. I got lunch at the Dux Petisco se Vinhos where I tried octopus in green sauce, with french fries.

I decided to cancel my travel plans in favor of resting as I was still sick. I showered in the gorgeous bathroom and crawled into my bunk to nap. I awoke to eat dinner on the terrace and enjoyed the scenery while fantasizing about moving there someday. After dinner, I went back to sleep. Day 4 of my travels was very lackluster but I felt much better after the much needed rest.
