As I walked to the bus stop this morning in Lagos at 6:30am, it was the still of the early morning that I love so much. The Segal's in the distance, the men preparing their shops for a new day, a lady in the grocery store getting her drawer ready for the shift she's about to start and the young man passed out on the side walk with his back pack on, shorts down and snoring. I couldn't help it but I took a picture. The police arrived shortly after so I'm curious what they will do.
I'm feeling great today. The boy at the hostel said "have a nice life", I usually say that to customers when I'm working. I thought to myself, "yes, I'm having an amazing life" after all why not!
Off to Seville, Spain now should arrive around noon and then I'm not sure.
I arrive Seville, jump off the bus and start walking around the station and I am completely confused as to what to do. I'm wondering do I stand in line to buy ticket somewhere else for later, before walking around the city? At this point my cellphone is not working nor do I have a hostel so far. So I will be walking around with my backpack on, it's hot. I decided to use the WC prior to leaving the bus station, this lady held the door open for me and in Spanish told me I could use it without paying that was nice of her.
So I leave the bus station following this couple, she seem to know what they were doing, they look like they're going on a bus, but what type and to where. Then the city tour bus came and I jumped on that that. Then I'm thinking that alright just drive around the next 3 hours to go to the AVE and jump on a train to Barcelona. After all it is all I kinda wanna do at this point is lay in the sun on a beach somewhere and relax.
So I get off the bus at the bus station that I originally got on the tour bus at. I jumped in a cab and have him take me to the AVE station which is the high speed train, I get there and try to book a ticket to Barcelona. The man at the counter, kind of rude, but I don't let that bother me tells me there's no available trains till tomorrow at 2:50 p.m. So I try to get a Wi-Fi signal to get online and see what the next possible option is. I booked the ticket for Ryanair to go to Barcelona 2 hours before it takes off. So now i must get in another cab and have him take me to the airport. I get to the airport and have to pay additional fees because I could not print out my boarding pass It's within the 2 hrs to take off. Now I'm sitting at the airport waitinh to go to Barcelona for the next two nights.
I must admit the most difficult part of this trip is finding all the travel arrangements. Which I knew ahead of time its just it can be a little frustrating at times. Especially when my phones not working. But either way I'll figure it out.
