Sevilla

Always one of the more difficult tasks of the trip is finding your hotel in a city where you've never been, without having a proper map and with a battery-low GPS where the maps were updated 3-4 years ago. So it was in Sevilla, but finally we made it. Parked the car into the elevator which took us as a whole to -2. Alla was a little but scared, "what if we get stuck in the elevator with the car, we can't even open the doors" and similar very useful panic-agenda.
The hotel was located off-the-map, so the receptionist took the map, and draw on the counter desk the exact location of the hotel. I thought to take it with me (the counter desk), but finally I convinced myself that it was not a good idea. We took bus number 14 (oh, sir it goes every 4-5 minutes!), waited about 15 minutes, but then it took us to town really quickly.
I loved the city! Beautiful buildings, excellent cafes, huge cathedral and the highlight is the Alcazar, which is dated back to at least 1000 years ago. In the evening we went to see Flameco show with some tapas (those we ate as well).
