The day started with a cup of tea and a croissant, before walking to Santa Maria’s Church. This place looks great from the outside, but is simpler than any other churches we’ve seen, on the inside.
The church was at the bottom of Mount Urgull, so we made the walk up. The walk gives a view of all parts of San Sebastian, and the ocean, at different points, and when at the top, under the huge statue of Christ, there is a small museum on the history of San Sebastian.

We walked back down a different way and had lunch at the foot of the mountain in a café. We met two older couples, who were sitting next to us, who were from Sydney and on a 14-day Trafalgar tour. As it turns out, we had another game of six degrees of Roberta Lindbeck, as one off the couples’ son went to university with her. The world just gets smaller.
After lunch we went to the Aquarium, which was fairly lame, but you’ve got to try something different from museums and churches every once in a while.
We came back to the pension and I had a lie down for my back, which turned into a two-hour nap. Roberta left for the beach in the meantime.
We went back to Paella-a-hut for dinner again and grabbed an ice cream before coming home.
