Sevillia

The Entrance to Sevilla.






Up early - lots of things to do before we set off for Seville. We eventually made it for the 1.00 p.m. bus into Seville. Quite a nice ride into the city and cheap too only 1 euro 20 cents each for a twenty minute ride to the centre of Seville.

The heat was an energy sapping 36 C with not a breath of wind. We took the tour bus around the city and almost got sun-stroke in the process, but it was well worth it. It is a beautiful and very interesting city, with lots of fantastic buildings and an amalgam of architecture spanning the centuries. It is well worth a visit but it would really take two or three days to take in all the sights. We had a light lunch in a delightful al fresco restaurant, shaded by huge trees. The waitress made a mistake with my order, so I was given 2 plates of food - of course I shared the extra one with Dieter, we sat there for a while, people watching and just cooling down in the shade. Eventually we took a walk to the park nearby and saw yet another impressive building, with ceramic tiles all around it of each of the provinces of Spain, very ornate and colourful. Soon we had to make for the return trip to Dos Hermanas - and even now in the early evening the temperature was still 36C - time for ......yes a G & T - still with fresh lemons!! Back at the camp site and it was back to the mundane task of doing the washing.
