Flamenco and Tapas

 The journey to Seville took about 3 hours, Camping Villsom is not far from Seville and has a good local bus connection which is why we chose it for our 2 night stop other than that it’s a bit basic the pitches are small and it’s fairly crowded. 

The weather has improved and we had lunch outside in the sun as soon as we set up.  In the evening we found a nearby Tapas bar and had a couple of glasses of vino too! 

On Sunday we caught the bus into Seville, being a Sunday the city was very busy with locals and tourists. It was a lovely warm sunny day, we walked to the through the Parque de Maria Luisa to Plaza de Espana  (pictured) although it looks very old it was actually built in the 1920s for the Ibero- American Exposition of 1929. We saw some Flameco dancers and then walked through the old town where there is an abundance of restaurants and had more tapas and vino. We helped a French couple negotiate the tapas menu as their Spanish was obviously worse than ours!

Next stop to the Jerez and Cadiz area.

Arrived safety in Delhi

Arrived safely in Delhi on 13th January 2pm local time (5 hours ahead of UK). Flew with Oman Air via Muscat. Food was awful didn’t live up to the promise of the menu! See photo. Service was indifferent. Although Muscat Airport looks fantastic it was very disorganised. Had a bit of a blip at Delhi airport, Jeff handed in his Sri Lankan visa along with his Indian which caused a bit of confusion and a couple of officials to sort out, all sorted though and we were on our way. Staying at the Palace Heights Hotel for 3 nights, good location, cheap for Delhi, great service and a super restaurant where we ate last night. The temperature is around 20C going down to 5C at night so quite chilly. We are planning to go to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal tomorrow, this will be the second attempt as several years ago we got as far as the entrance queue and Liz was sick so had to abort.

Hanoi - Hoi An - Hanoi

We arrived on the overnight train from Sapa to Hanoi at 5.30am then headed straight for the airport for a long wait for our flight to Da Nang. Unfortunately on arrival our courtesy car didn’t arrivewhich left us a bit frustrated, so we had to get a taxi to our hotel in Hoi An. The journey is about 30 minutes. We stayed at a lovely hotel with it’s own private beach even got a body massage thrown in which was very welcome after bouncing around on a train and a plane over the previous 24 hours! Hội An is a city on Vietnam’s central coast known for its well-preserved Ancient Town, cut through with canals. The former port city’s melting-pot history is reflected in its architecture, a mix of eras and styles from wooden Chinese shop houses and temples to colorful French colonial buildings, ornate Vietnamese tube houses and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge with its pagoda. As we had been to Hoi An previously and done all the touristy things then, we spent four days doing practicall...
