I took the evening coach from Seville, south of Spain, to Lisbon and reached the Sete Rios metro station at 5.30am where the trains were not in operation yet. I wondered around at the metro station like a strained stray dog in a foreign land for about an hour

Actually I have already booked a bed online while I was in Seville but that was given to another traveler as I did not check-in before midnight. This hostel has a good location where the bus stop is right in front of the entrance and the metro station is just a few minutes walk. The breakfast provided was good. Worth the stay!

While I was in the centre, I witnessed a pickpocketing scene. The young Asian man was so thrilled with the street magic performance and kept on taking pictures. I went behind the performer and tried to take pictures of the crowd and happened to see this middle age European lady standing behind the Asian man and putting her hand into the sling bag the man was carrying. She took out a wallet and passed it to another lady next to her. That lady slowly walked away.
