coimbra - beer and oook

Arrived coimbra at 7pm.checked in the Atsoria Hotel. Room facing the river, but bathroom very small, squeezy. For the past 2 nites the rooms were also very small, reminded him of rooms in new york hotels and genting hotels. The room last nite in lisbon's vip hotel was so small, they could not even put the blanket cover away properly, had to let it lie on the floor. The had dinner in a restaurant 300m away from the hotel, just needed a short walk. Cod fish, the waiter said. But it was not the smooth, tender fresh type. It tasted like salted fish, not fresh but cured. Very interesting. He liked it. They took a small walk along the shops nearby after dinner. Almost all the shops already closed. When they got back to the hotel, the extremely helpful front desk lady told them there's a mall 20min walk away which opened until midnite. But not safe to walk at nite. So she called the cab for them and even came out of the hotel to meet the driver and told him the place they wanted to go. The cab driver, Apoli was a black, talked a lot. It was like any other mall with all euro brands and a super. They spent a couple of hours there. Went back hotel before midnite. Had a beer which caused the blood pressure to shoot up, bad for the nite. beer can make you sleepy and also can make you excited... just like after an OOOK!
