A day of rest, or not...?

In Barra, some students have taken the time available to do their washing, while others enjoyed their spare time discovering nightlife in Lisbon. The latter practice often is accompanied by too much beer and too little fado. But the journey by train to Aveiro will cure any illness.



Meanwhile, Vincent and Maarten went on to prepare the field course. This involved a lot of thinking while planning, followed by some shopping and frantic rummaging through the instruments in the garage. Finally we transported a big ugly shoe-shaped former soviet flat-bottom fishing boat to the Ria de Aveiro - in a car that would probably be deemed too small by the legal authorities - and practicing rowing to the island. As one of our students is actively rowing in a real Amsterdam Student Rowing Club (named Skoll), we think this activity may please her very much.
