Arriving in Seville was interesting because I am assuming we were the last flight of the day because they pretty much locked up as we were exiting. It was out first flight with SpanAir and it was good, but not Aegean Air (they didn’t give snacks!) Our hotel is kind of not in the middle of the city. When the travel agent booked our hotels, we were supposed to be at another one, but she booked this one. I was busy and didn’t really bother with it, but I definitely should have. We have to take the bus into the city and it is just a lot of hassle. Night one we went to Burger King for dinner because it was down the street from the hotel and it had more to offer than the hotel restaurants. Seville is frustrating because the travel books didn’t have much about it before we got here and heaven forbid the hotels over here actually have brochures! We got up on Tuesday and headed into the city center. I am sort of embarrassed to say we did the Hop On Hop Off bus! If nothing else, it was a bus to get to various spots in the city with a little information while you ride the bus. We rode around for a while and then got off near the cathedral. They had a walking tour in the afternoon so we grabbed lunch and went on the stroll of the city. It was probably the most inefficient thing because it was one guide who did Spanish and English, so he told the information in one language and then the next, so the tour was twice as long as it would have to have been.
For dinner we stopped at this restaurant that was really gross. Dad has lasagna, but it wasn’t red and I had noodles in tomato sauce with meat and dad said it tasted like garbage. Again, I don’t care what people think, but McDonalds here is amazing. And, you get an extra item: banana sundae, yogurt or apples. Once I thought they had forgotten the banana sundae, but no, they waited until I was finished with my meal! That is service. We had a time finding the bus stop for number 34 and wandered for a while searching. It is light here until like 10 p.m., but it was getting dark because getting your check around here is like flying to the moon and back. We finally find the bus stop, but it goes backwards and we missed our stop because the hotel had not lights and then got off and eventually found out way back.
