Ok Kin, thanks.
Those pictures reminds me a lot the rail connection between Lisbon and Estoril. Very very similar, the tracks in some parts are almost on the sands of beach. Well but tracks here are ok not damage like those.
The weather here is not bad, in the morning there was sun, know there are clouds but no cold at all, and no rain. Kind a hard to figure how the hell you can have several week of raining with no sun at all. Here we don't have then more then 2 days without seen it.
Only Azores is having some trouble now, but it is far again from here.

We will bring rain cloths, don't now how to say it in English, but are made of that material that water can get through. I try it last week and it works very nice and they are comfort. Rain here compared with what you have there is much less, so we are not so used to be wet because of rain as you do, and i hat to have my cloths wet, so a nice anti-water cloth is a nice bet.
