Seville Exploring

Seville has a beautiful old Cathedral, and very old gardens to explore. We spent the second day exploring all of the historical monuments (after we sat by the computer for a minute by minute update of Syd FC v Urawa Reds ☹ )… It was still 30 degrees at quarter to five in the afternoon! The shops are very smart here – they are open 9 til 2, and then close until 4 or 5, and then reopen until 8pm. So lunchtime is very relaxed and shopping can be done until late! After our long exploring day, we headed to an Irish pub to watch the final of the European Champions League (Liverpool v AC Milan). On the way, the weather went from stinking hot to severe thunderstorm! We have not seen rain like that in lots of years! Torrential downpour – hail included! In the pub, the Liverpool fan-club turned up – they happened to be building a jumbo jet in Seville that week…. They lost ☹, but the pub was packed and it was still a good atmosphere. We cheered when Harry Kewell got a run in the second half.
