Hot days in Seville

It was a hot evening in Seville and even with the fan I found it hard to sleep soundly. Sweating through the night is not my idea of a comfy sleep! I had hoped for a sounder sleep but it's been very, very warm... even with windows open too! Anyhow, T & I started out … Continue reading Hot days in Seville →

Back to Seville…

After a healthy breakfast, T and I organised ourselves and then checked out. Off to the train station with an uneventful stroll there in the heat. Just like in France, we rocked up to one of the machines and purchased a ticket, easy peasey. Select English by hitting the UK flag, select destination, single / … Continue reading Back to Seville… →

Next day in Cordoba

I went for a walk on my own and saw the Roman Temple ruins and the Plaza de la Corredera. Free to see these two. The temple is so cool. It’s the remains of a few pillars in the middle of the city here but to imagine it in the hustle and bustle of ancient … Continue reading Next day in Cordoba →

1st full day in Cordoba

Lazy morning doing laundry and big breakfast gave us a slow and relaxed start to the day. I had excellent sleep and so glad as it’s been a few nights of tossing and turning in the heat or too cold from the air con or having to visit the bathroom due to drinking too many … Continue reading 1st full day in Cordoba →

Settling into Seville. Then left the next day lol

Then I got woken up at 7:30am by banging, shouting, jackhammering and all the above at the same time. T did not want to stay so we packed up, cancelled it and are now on our way to Cordoba on the train. The station was pretty big with your average lunch options like Mcdonald’s, salads, … Continue reading Settling into Seville. Then left the next day lol →

Bobbing along to Bilbao for the day

We were up early and hit the bus station for the 1hr or so ride into Bilbao. It was a smooth ride on the Alsa. It rolled up to the platform 5 mins before it was to go and left like 10-15 mins late but we got to Bilbao on time. The platform also didn’t … Continue reading Bobbing along to Bilbao for the day →

Last day in San Sebastian

For breakfast, we went back to the same spot and tried to order the ham & egg omelette I saw this other fellow have the other day. Success! It was a different lil breakfast menu. It was so cheap: 2.50€! Another fellow was drinking at 10am too so that was rather funny. As it … Continue reading Last day in San Sebastian →

Settling into San Sebastian

Next day, we got a slow start and it was nice to slow down and chill out a bit. We got a heavy, savoury breakfast to get us full. We went to the beach for a bit in the morning and it was glorious as it was 27C with a hint of a breeze. Just … Continue reading Settling into San Sebastian →

Setting off to San Sebastian

We had a smooth bus ride on the Flixbus to San Sebastian. We arrived and it was quite cool. Not cold but not as hot as expected. We assumed it was due to being near the bay which extends out into the North Atlantic Ocean. What a colourful and aesthetically beautiful city. All the architecture … Continue reading Setting off to San Sebastian →
