dude bikes!....yea BIKES! - Sevilla



Day 2 - heres the motto for spring break "attractions during the day trashy at night if you dont end up drunk your not doing it right"
So on that note we start the day off by going to the 3rd largest Cathedral in the world. Which is literally 8 minute walk from our hostel. We walk around to the catedral as they call it and im immediately stopped by a lady who gives me like this little flower and starts telling me my fortune. 2 kids money big house blah blah blah im like thank you but she wouldnt let me leave unless i give her money. I give her a euro but shes not happy and wants more what this look like! Dont be greedy!!
`Moral of the story dont accept anything from anyone jeez!
But the catedral is huge and breathtaking. Im not big on religion but i can appreciate good art. Its crazy how they build the whole thing without cranes or anything of the sort. The paintings were amazing as well i appreciated everything
Giralda Tower is connected with the catedral and the view from above is awesome. You get to see the whole sevilla and it looks like there isnt much but once your up there looking over the city you see everything. Not to mention the flights of stairs well hills i had to walk to get up there lol
After the tower we walk around near the river which is a good sight .. we look around for food which is really hard if you dont have any knowledge of the spanish food culture. For us its a guessing game, guess we get the right food and hope it tastes good! For about 10 euros we got coffee, a drink, appetizer, salad and a main course which was pretty good. The staff was friendly and you can tell he enjoyed his job but was getting frustrated with us because we both mutually didnt understand one another.


We eventually found BIKES! you can rent them for an hour and a half or for days even weeks and we seen that its the best idea yet. Everyone in sevilla are on bikes to get places. ITs a good system and whomever thought of the idea i applaud. I enjoyed riding around taking in the city on our new wheels lol
NIGHTLIFE- Tonight we decided to go on a pub crawl that our hostel hosts. I swear the staff are awesome kudos to you fellas. First we have a bbq that constists of burgers and sangria! oo how i love me some sangria haha We went to 4 bars and you get a free shot at each. This night i met some cool people. 2 girls from uruguay i met at the bbq were really cool and she was discussing how her high school is 5 years then college i think was 6 shes getting her masters and then going for something else so big ups to her. She was explainging how Brits talk and it was pretty funny i must say. On the pub crawl we met 2 chicks from norway. Both were pretty cool BUT were still in highschool age 17 smh. If this was the US that would be a NO NO but for some reason in Europe i guess that didnt matter. One bar we get to we meet Kareem a Brit that was here for a bachelor party. This guy is 39 and is the coolest guy ive met. Let me also add that he paid for our drinks and also introduced a new drinking game to us at the bar. his quote "listen im 39 im trying to wake up with a 18yr old thigh in my face" haha classic
Overall a good night.. the MORNING NOT SO MUCH ... - HUNGGOOOVEERR -






oo i forgot the last place we went to afterwards we got lost for almost 2 hrs on bikes. yea we are drunk on bikes lost smh .. come to find out the last club was 10 minutes from our hostel .. FAIL!
