Hotel Melia Sevilla Seville

... i got ABSORBED into a hammick. they have a roof terrace upstairs and hammocks. Man, let me tell you...asleep fast.

I think it's funny that every so often, we'd hear a couple claps and stiller would be like "i jus twant to hear someone randomly bust out flamenico on the streets." Unfortunately, we weren't privileged with that. The next night, we went to a turiksh tea house and i had some of the BEST tea ever. I had the azadhar tea...Wow ...

... habe ich mit diesen schon so viele kilometer gelaufen,dass ich sicher locker die erde umrundet habe (evi muss ein reinkarnierter marathonläufer sein.eindeutig!) ...statt neue blatern zu bekommen, heilten dies sogar beim laufen in diesen flipflops. mega super dinger! jetzt kanns losgehen. von mir aus brauchen wir kein mietauto mehr;ich laufe alles!

... Departing through the courtyard of the Oranges (with mosque-era fountains still in place), we had lunch at a nearby restaurant. It wasn't bad ... but we still think the best meal we had was in the hotel in Granada. We returned briefly to the hotel (where Mum fell asleep on the loo) before going to the Arab baths. At 4pm promptly, we were checked in for our two hour session, went into the dressing room to change, then were sent downstairs. For the next hour or ...

... here...haha. the other night i went to this bohemian spanish music concert in the Alameda (a district in sevilla) with a bunch of friends. so much fun! we had already been to a couple bars and later a discoteca. I love going out with everyone. ive made so many great friends. the discoteca was fun. there were fish in the hanging lights and techno music with neon lights flashing everywhere. lets just say i had one sangria, two tinto de veranos ...

... and one with way too many columns .............so what did they do?........well they built a basilica right smack bang in the middle of it....and turned the minaret into a clocktower.............so now we have an ancient mosque mashed with some gothic basillica which can only leave you dumbfounded once inside............this building is too ridiculous for words.......and such a shame for where the mosque remains you can see a building of incredible beauty. This blog is ...

... small a world it is, as I met the parents of one of the kiwi physios I lived with back in Cardiff, 2 years ago! Very friendly as usual, and they took me in & made sure I got safely across to Spain, with my gut bug causing all sorts of trouble and pain! Now on my own again, I have arrived in Seville, southern spain. Mmm, tapas, sangria & flamenco - if only I could eat now! This needs editing, so stay tuned. Need some sleep first...

... on the wooden stage in different beats to the music. There was also a lot of singing involved, which I wasn´t aware of. A good half of the show involved the dancer sitting in her chair clapping to the music as one guy played the acoustic guitar and the other guy whaled some very sad Spanish song. The second day, I walked around the town and stopped for a tour of the bullfighting arena, one of the oldest in ...

... day of classes. My professor is named Oscar, and he's a bald Spanish man in his mid-30's who reminds me of Señor Beaulieu, but not gay and with a Spanish instead of Mexican accent. He's very serious, but kind and funny. He also teaches grammar in a way that reminds me of Señor and Señorita Hochla, my two favorite Spanish teachers of all time, and that kind of teaching makes me really excited about learning something as completely dull as grammar, because he makes it logical and ...

... zu tanken, bevor's zurück in den Schnee geht. Da am Mittwoch (6.12.) und am Freitag (8.12.) in Spanien zwei Feiertage waren, konnten wir für ein richtig langes Wochenende noch ein paar Tage Spanien erkunden. Den ersten Halt machten wir in Sevilla, wo wir von strömendem Regen und einem totalen Verkehrskaos empfangen wurden. Wir liessen uns unsere Laune jedoch nicht verderben und genossen den ersten Abend mit Tapas und Fussball. (typisch ...

... recommend if flying to or from Spain, better than EasyJet. And we stayed in a hostel right off Calle Sierpes which is one of the main shopping streets. North of there is really cheap food. Our first night, Phil and I got 4 tapas, a huge fish for 2 and beer for 22 euro which is one of the cheapest meals we have had with some of the most food. The next day, Thursday, was important for 2 reasons. Flea Market day and Bullfighting Day. Now I was ...
