Change of scenery

Our driver was waiting early for our 6:04 am pick up. Out we headed into the darkness for the airport. 40 minutes later my bike was hurtling down a ramp and we were ready to fly to Seville.
Ryanair use a cunning plot to earn money. Two people on the same booking don't get seated together, and they expect you to purchase your seat selection to get adjoining seats. Sorry, not today. I think you would describe them as a no frills airline, but we arrived safe and on time and into another weather zone. It was up around 28 degrees today but felt like 20......in my opinion, which as the principal writer should be sacred. Others differ in their opinion, but let's face it, writers write and editors be hot.
We were met at our AirBnB by the owner but as it was still being cleaned, could not check in for 3 hours. We could leave our luggage though, and headed for......wait for it......gulp, A CATHEDRAL. It has the necessary pieces, but also had a bell tower requiring the climbing of 35 ramps. Hooray for exercise.

Then we hit the local supermercado, purchased essential food such as Pringles and cereal and headed back to the room. Somewhere on the way, we stumbled upon a tiny Decathlon Sports Store and oh so many jewellery shops. I hope my pay is in the account soon. Our host had recommended some restaurants and after having a siesta, hit the streets, or should I say Calles? We headed out for tapas. Restaurant A was full, but it seemed like they ran all the restaurants in the street, so we are next door,  while our meals came from restaurant A.
4 small meals was just right and once again vegetables were much needed. So weird eating at 9 pm and getting home after 11. So very sleepy.
