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.

Weekend in Seville in Mar 2023: Day 1 – London (LGW) to Seville (SVQ)

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.

With Covid-19, the pandemic and lockdowns firmly behind us, this was the first time that we could get away with friends and family. With it being a big birthday bash for one of our party and a big age at that (!), we had to go somewhere warm in March, so The Vickster selected Seville.

It's Vicky's 60th birthday coming up, so we decided we would head out to enjoy some sun in Seville. We are going away with Andrew and Sam to celebrate this big event in style.
