A five-hour bus-ride to Seville, Spain

The alarm set for 05:45, in "Babette", the train, at 6:30,goes to Lisbon, the Metro to the bus station, and the bus on it is on its way at 08:30. Glad we negotiated the various bus companies and bought tickets yesterday!

We drive through dry hills, rows and rows of olive trees, some with pigs or sheep enjoying their shade. Red-tiled, white-washed villages, castles on hillsides, come and go along our way. If you blinked you missed the Portugese/Spanish border. Very civilised!

The landscape gradually urbanised into the lovely "Arabian" city of Seville.
