Last Monday morning we got up early and boarded the coach (6.40) to Seville. It cost us 144 Euros for the four of us to go on our day trip to Spain. We picked up other day trippers along the way out of the Algarve to Spain. The tourists seemed to be made up of Brits and Germans.
It was good to visit another European country on our travels. Last year I went to Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia.
I couldn't believe what was behind this door. It looked a grand enough building with it's ornate facade. It's the Plaza De Espana in Seville.
We walked through the entrance hall and out into the courtyard/canal. What a vista.
Air cooling system on one of the roofs. A necessary piece of equipment. It was 32 degrees in Seville.
Built in the nineteen thirties. Probably the most impressive piece of modern architecture I have ever seen. The building was featured in Lawrence of Arabia and one of the Star Wars films.
We stopped on the way back at a roadside cafe bar and had a small glass of Spanish beer. I enjoyed our day trip to Spain. I didn't enjoy flying to Portugal when the steward informed us by phone that the pilot was going to the toilet for a few minutes. Sure enough the cockpit door opens and the pilot walks up the aisle to the outside toilets on the wings (it was a cheap flights operator), seriously he goes to the toilet at the back of the plane. Why couldn't he have used the one at the front and wasn't it good that the air steward was now flying the plane? It was a very tense and quiet five minutes in the plane while the pilot carried out his ablutions.
We got there Ok and back to sunny Ireland last Friday. It was good to have a change of scenery and it's great to have such wonderful weather in Ireland. Never known an April like it!
