Day 163
I didn't sleep too well last night since the guy above me was snoring like crazy and then peoples alarms were going off starting around 7am. I had some coffee with breakfast then hung out at the hostel, ate lunch and then about 11:45 I left for the train station.
I have to say that I enjoyed my stay at La Banda Rooftop Hostel. Even though there was a snorer the last few nights, the hostel itself was really cool. The 4 guys who own it are always around and really helpful with everything. The food they cook is always great and it's an excellent way to get everyone in the hostel together.
I got to the train station a little earlier than I needed to so I just read there for a bit before my train arrived. The trip from Seville to Cordoba only took about an hour and a half and was pretty uneventful. I got a seat facing the wrong direction so it wasn't too exciting to watch out the window.
I checked into the hostel here (the Cordoba Bed and Be) and then went exploring around town for a bit. I went down to the Mezquita and walked through the courtyard which is free. It's full of orange trees and fountains and has great views of the belltower. I'll go into the actual building later in the week.
I've got 6 nights here so I'll have plenty of time to see the city in depth over that time. It's a bit intimidating that all of the guests here speak excellent Spanish in addition to their English. It really makes me wish I had kept up with my Spanish after high school.
Since no one in Spain eats dinner before 9, a couple of us from the hostel are going to head out and get some tapas and drinks around then.
