On Wednesday we drove to Coimbra, a riverside city and home to the oldest university in Portugal.  Our initial plan was to spend a week in Coimbra; however, we decided to modify our itinerary a couple weeks ago.  We have been wanting to go to the Azores Islands and decided to scrap our week in Coimbra in favor of going there instead.  We still wanted to make a day-trip to Coimbra and luckily it is only an hour from where we are staying in Nazaré.  It is one of the larger cities we have visited so far and has lots of historical sights.
