If you can't find it, come back. I take you

This morning we got to the bus station and had to wait until everyone else had boarded until we could get on because we didn’t have an assigned seat. We should have taken that as a sign of how today was going to go. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t a bad day, just full of little surprises.

We get to Sevilla where we had a bus change. We get to the station and the woman only spoke Spanish at the information desk. It was fine because all four of us know Spanish, but she had no idea what she was talking about! She told us our ticket was closed or something, so I asked what was closed because I didn’t get what she meant. She then went on to explain that closed is the opposite of open. Thank you for that… And it wasn’t my lack of Spanish because they other people who spoke Spanish tried to help us and didn’t understand. Finally, a nice Italian woman figured out what she meant and explained it to us in a mix of English, Spanish and Italian. The woman wanted us to go to a different bus station to get the bus and said we had to wait two hours. Since she seemed like a dimwit, we asked the guys outside where the buses were. He said that the bus was at this station at 2.

We took the bus and walked to the hotel. It’s not a very touristy area, but it’s only 5 miles from the beach. We eventually found our way after asking a guy at a store, who luckily spoke Spanish. The hotel isn’t as nice as the website, but it’s not bad. We went to a restaurant for dinner for a hamburger. They charged us 8 Euro for a basket of bread. It said 2, but apparently it was per person. Naranjas de la China. But seriously, we were pissed! It was so lame. Then we try to walk back, but it’s nothing like Granada. Everything was closed at 10, so there was barely anyone out. It was kind of sketchy. We couldn’t find our way back so we asked a waiter who sent us totally out of the way. So then we ended up back near the same restaurant and another waiter yelled to us. He told us turn by turn directions to the hotel. After he told us “Don’t forget that. If you can’t find it, come back, I take you.” He wasn’t as sketchy as that sounds, though.

Tomorrow we’re going to the beach! Can’t wait!
