1000 km to go First just a few tails from day 1. To get from Malaga airport to Seville, I had to take a train. The Spanish have a funny system for boarding trains. The cars are car 1, 2, and 3, however marking the cars seems to have been deemed unnecessary. (Ended up it was 3,2,1)The system is for all people to rush the train all at once and get into a car, then they ask the conductor on board what car they are in. At this point everybody tries to get to their proper car, (baby buggies and all) thru the 18" wide centre aisle. The resulting pandemonium could be an Olympic sport. Today was a rest and get acclimatized day. Slept until 7:00 am, then toured the city with my Aussie friend Paul and his son. We attended a flamenco festival, located the central cathederal and received our first pilgrim passport stamp. We also toured some of the local archectural marvels. We start at the front door of the main cathederal tomorrow at 7:00 am. I have a few photos and a video for you today. Tomorrow we walk to Guillena!

Terry! Jamie here. Love your blog, pilgrim. Years ago I was through Extremadura, briefly, by van. Would not want to walk it -- but I envy you your experience. All the best.
