We walked around Madrid a lot our last night, eating tapas and churros. After hours of churros, we decided to head on down to Sevilla the next day (Wednesday). We asked the hostel clerk about taking the train to Sevilla, she said we needed a reservation 5 days in advance. This did not go well with our plan. We decided to try to call the train station, but the number we had didn't work. Luckily, we brought our laptop, so all we had to do was book the tickets through the internet. Oh, the hostel turns off the internet at 9:00pm - and it was 11:00pm. So no internet.
We decided to just get up early and go to the train station. We got to the station and after a few wrong lines, we spoke to the ticket agent about tickets to Sevilla. They had plenty and we paid him and we went on our way. Kelly worried for nada.
The train ride was 3 hours and 20 minutes. The seats were roomy and comfortable, and they showed a movie (en espanol).
When we arrived at the train station we had no idea where our hostel was -we booked it that morning, and did not write down directions. We asked which way the city centre was and started walking. This was a good mistake.
Sevilla is full of small, cobblestone, narrow streets and alleys. After 5 minutes of walking it becomes like a cornfield maze that is difficult to escape. Miles later, we finally found our hostel.
We will write more later about Sevilla. Right now we are going to the river walk and cathedral.
