Today is the second of thirteen travel days in our holiday not including to and from Oz.
We were up at 5.30am and still had to vie for the bathroom with two asian girls. Anyway managed to leave the hostel at 6am and catch the 6.36am train to Lisbon. Got a coffee / hot chocolate at the station and caught the 8.23am train to Faro.
Arrived in Faro at 11.30am and had a wait till 1.55pm for our bus to Seville. Found the bus station (thanks to Kate's phone and Google maps ) and then went down to the waterfront to source some lunch. Settled for toasted sandwiches at a restaurant on the marina. Watched some fish jumping and thought of Andy who always seems to see them (he is not always believed). Seemed to be in a touristy section of town.
Bus left on time and we crossed the border into Spain at around 3pm (4pm Spanish time ). I was worried when I booked this bus that it would be cancelled because there weren't enough people on it. Needn't have worried. Half way to Seville we left 11 people behind because the bus was full!!!!. Pleased it wasn't us and now realise why our ticket was a voucher which was valid for eight days.
Finally made it to Seville and the Hotel Murillo which is literally just around the corner from the Alcazar in the old part of town.
Tapas and a jug of Sangria and we are ready for bed.
The food looks interesting but where are the Portugese tarts? Very cold here. You are in the right place. Love mum,dad
ReplyDeleteEnjoy lovely Sevilla. We had the yummiest mandarin ice cream in a plaza by the river there.
