September 11 - Seville

Got up ridiculously early to leave Granada and get to Jerez where sherry comes from (Sherry is the british people´s word for the drink from Jerez). After some tasty tasting of 100 year old sherry which tasted like mashed sultanas, we had lunch and headed into Seville. We did a walking tour ofthe city and there were a lot of super swanky pretentious shops.

I went to the cathedral in Seville with Marc, Jeff, Andrew and Cherry. The cathedral is the 3rd largest in the world and holds some other guiness title. There were a lot of little chapels inside it too. It also had the tomb of Christopher Columbus and several cardinals. I tried to take a picture but when it didn´t work I accidentally cussed in the church, whoops.

We went to the bell tower at the top and saw all of Seville, including the bullring, river and suburbs. Then the bells rang and scared the living crap out of us. After that we walked around the city a bit more and then Gillian and I went to the bullring. It was closed as their wasn´t a bullfight on, but we still could walk around it.

Then we had tapas for dinner- Jeff, Michele and I got 9 plates and 6 drinks between us for €6 each. Then Laura took us tothe roof of a hotel that gave us a gorgeous view of the bell tower and cathedral. The drinks there were really expensive. Then some people told us there was a free concert in Plaza Neuva so we went there and there was a symphony orchestraof some sort and hundreds of people standing around watching. Right after they finished it started to rain so Gill and I ran home.
