July 6th
In the morning we went for a walk, even tho it was cloudy and there was a light rain falling. After going to the train station to buy a train ticket to go from Porto to Madrid, it will be an overnight train. We then go for a walk around town, and I found a place for a haircut. We buy another bottle of wine and some food for the overnight trip.
After leaving Porto we have a two hour ride before stopping close to midnight still in Portugal and have a 10 minute wait on the other platform to catch the overnight train to Madrid. With the train almost full we sat in the wrong seats, but the conductor tells us it is OK because the seats are for the conductors and he will not be sitting. We did not get a change to eat, as they turn off the lights fairly quick. All the other travelers (pilgrims) are quick to go back to sleep. We slept very uncomfortable off and on. At about 8:30 in the morning we arrive in Madrid. |
