Espana Extravaganza - Part 2 - Seville

After our 3 hour bus journey... we arrive at Seville!

After finding our hostel, we made our way to the riverside to have some grilled (and deep fried!) seafood...

But on our way... we were tempted into having ice-creams instead!! hehehe... sorry.. I just can't say no to ice-creams... and in Spain, they have lots of gelato shops around which are difficult to resist!! :P


After dinner, we decided to go clubbing... we walked around asking for the "happening" area and someone recommended this club to us...


The next day, we set off to do some sightseeing... and in my definition, that just means walking around and taking lots of pictures (though I have to admit defeat to Yan Ping who takes self-portraits all the time!!!)... :P


Which is why I actually don't remember (or know in the first place) what building this is! hehehehe...

We then went to look for the stadium as the guys wanted to watch one of the Spanish La Liga football matches...



And oh... how can a trip with Mr Yeo be complete if we didn't hitch a free ride on the tram! sssshhhh... don't blow the whistle okay?


The Sevilla Stadium... we managed to get tickets for the Sevilla-Villarreal match!



And oooh... couldn't resist taking pictures of these little kids... who took the meaning of siesta to a new level! Taking a nap in the middle of the street during the day!!!! Hahahahaha... sooooo cute!!!


The guys entertaining themselves before the match... you can see how they go bananas with their snacks... :P



We got tickets on the Sevilla side so we were supporting the home team...


And the weather was really fantastic for the match... nice and sunny... not too cold.. in fact, I can even not wear my jacket!! Yippeeee....




Random shots of the match... and of the lovely weather!


The match was pretty exciting with two goals from the home team, which gave the crowd a lot to cheer for! And there was even a penalty shot which the home team scored on our side of the field!!


After the excitement of the match, the next day we took it easy by doing some touristy stuff...

Wally really wanted to go for the bull fighting, which are famous in this part of Spain... but unfortunately we didn't realise that they only have matches on Sunday and we had to buy the tickets in advance...

So, in the end we didn't go for the bull fighting... but oh well... considering that they will kill the bull in each fight... it's a bit mean... so I'm not too fussed that I missed the bloodshed!





The horse seemed to look really friendly so I took a picture with it... these horses are really smart and well trained... they even travel on the same roads as cars and buses! Hmm... better than the London cabs??



The town centre of Seville... where the main shopping district is situated...




And look, see how serious our guys are when it comes to shopping!! Hahahaha...
