2000 miles from home and here we are in a marina on the banks of the Guadalquivir, a bus ride out of Seville; the instructions for which told us to press a button and go find a sailor to open the security gate!
Plenty of life's goings on to watch when we aren't doing the tourist bit, including raptors flying into trees and various boat skills including skulling and general boat handling. As we were about to leave, we were accosted by Diana, 80+ living on a boat in dry dock following the death of her husband 12 years ago. She needed her flight bag weighing to check it was inside the 15kg limit. Too heavy for her but it allowed Mike to play the English gent.
Oh, and the Alcazar didn't disappoint, nor did the Plaza d'Espana, a personal recommendation from the lady in the Tourist Office. This was an amazing space with tiled bridges over a canal surrounded by pictorial representations of Spain's provinces, again all tiled. A long, footsore day, but worth it.
We're off south now to the Grazalema Natural Park en route to see friends holidaying near Nerja. It's getting hotter - 36 degrees in Seville and climbing..
