Spain/Portugal day 8

Basically the whole morning was tour of Seville. Before I forget as you know Europe is one of the most expensive place to be in and our tour guider's tip was like day like robbing.

Take at my invoice.(For the guides tip)

(Look the the sentences below, "Kindly put the cash into the envelope attached")

Had to pay her Euro 222 and that about SGD444/- for tips (3 persons). If this is not extortion, I don't know what is.

By the way, you have any idea how hard for me to buy cigarettes in Spain? They don't sell in provision shop, not even in supermarket. They don't even have a 7-11 in Spain. Cigarettes only available in vendor machines location inside drinking bar.

Lucky I brought a cartoon of cigarettes in Singapore and today I finally get hold of my first Spain cigarettes cost me Euro 2.20/- - CHEAP! Talk about my first try on the cigarettes machine, I deposit my coin into the machines and light lit up to show all kind of cigarettes. I survey closely and I chose a weird looking pictures and press the button. Guess what came out?

A pack of condom!
Apparently cigarettes and condom are on the same machines!

Enough of talk, let show you some pictures

I forgot what is this place so I can't tell you much.
Only pictures.......

Ya..just pictures. (Save the the trouble of writing...haha). I don't know why time passes so quickly. Ever since I'll been on this tour, there is only two things to do. Sightseeing and eating.

Speaking of eating, it's lunch time again. Scout for local delight food which are unique to Spain. As we walk, came across this

(We're looking for food. My sister and I asked my mum to lead the way. Haha, mum felt this responsibly was a burden. Nevertheless, she obliged.)

Somehow we settle on this small cafe because of it appeal.
