6h get ready to horseback ride!!
7h15 ask the receptionist for directions to the bus station.. oh it's just a 5 min walk from our hotel.. guess we didn't need to take a tram and 2 buses to get there yesterday.. oops
7h30 breakfast at the station
10h arrive in matalascanas.. nowheresville spain.. and we got off at the wrong stop.. only 5km from our destination.. no car. no bus. no cell. no map. just the name of the place, the cell number of the guy who works there and a girl who can speak spanish... and we now have one hour to figure this out
10h15 find a phone booth. call the horse guy.. once.. no answer. twice.. no answer. thrice.. he answers! but all he can say is find a way to get to el paso doble. click.
10h20 buy some croissants and try to convince the woman working there to call us a cab... she says they don't have cabs in matalascanas.. right
10h25 go back to bus stop. ask another guy about cabs.. they do exist.. we get a cab number.. still no phone. and no change for the phone booth.
10h30 walk to the hostel victoria to use a phone, after much spanish cheny gets the very reluctant lady to call us a cab
10h40 cab arrives
10h50 cab driver is still on the phone, parked in front of hostel victoria
11h arrive, on time at el paso doble stables!!
11h20 leave for the beach, instructer, her son, a family of three, cheny and i
12h30 my horse decides to run home, i lose control, all the other horses freak out and the woman behind me jumps ship because her saddle is too lose... but everyone was ok
13h family drives us back to bus stop. cheny and i eat some lunch.
14h50 we get back on the bus
15h-17h sleep back to sevilla
17h somehow cheny's internal alarm clock rings and we wake up at our stop
17h10 back to hotel
