After finishing inside the Mesquita, we wandered around the narrow streets in the vicinity, until Vick lost track of where we were on the map. At that point, we decided to head back to the new town to get some lunch.

I was awake at 4 am, and it was a tad chilly in the room, having turned on the aircon last night. I dozed a bit longer whilst Vick snored her head off.

I spent the afternoon back at the hotel. I popped up to the terrace to check that out and it was lovely. The other three joined the bus tour at Plaza del Duque de Victoria.

We didn't turn the light off until about 11:30pm and I slept through til about 4:30am. Vick did much better than me, waking at something like 7:30am.

There was only one passenger in the queue at First Check In, so it wasn't long before we were checking in our luggage. That's another odd thing to do - we haven't checked in luggage for years and I blame Andrew and Sam entirely.

It's unusual for us to be travelling on a Saturday, but a Saturday it was for our flight out to Seville. The plan was to have a leisurely start to the day and then we had vastly different expectations as to when we would leave home for our 4pm flight to Spain.
