02 October - a rooftop in the centre of Seville

It's warm, maybe 27C and it's about 10 at night. I can't believe we are in the centre of the old area of Seville, it's quiet.  We are on the rooftop of a 'hostal' John booked on-line. It's old, quaint, quirky, clean and the young woman in the reception desk was lovely.  The journey to Gatwick in our 'new' CRV was fast and seamless, time to spare.  There was an hours delay on the Ryanair flight, but on arrival in Seville transit through the airport was the fastest we have ever known.  It was efficient and effortless, maybe 10 minutes from arrival to exiting the airport, including claiming our hold luggage.  Half an hour in a taxi and we were in an old back street climbing the stairs to the Hostal.  We had anticipated arriving much later so came with a bottle of wine, prepared to just collapse into bed.  We've still decided not to go out tonight, and save our explorations for tomorrow.  So here we are, with our bottle of wine sitting on the roof, in the dark.  Lights seem to be in short supply, we have to throw a switch when we go into our room to turn the electricity on, and up here on the roof there aren't many lights on around us.  BUT it seems that downstairs there is a WiFi connection.  Free!  We don't find this in UK hotels, you have to pay an extortionate amount for internet connection.   We found the same thing in Egypt and Morocco, even the most basic hostels gave us free WiFi.  What's going on in the UK?  Exploitation or what?
So, it's so far so very good. Tomorrow, Seville.....
