In many cities, the queue of Segway visitors is not appealing. It has seemed a gimmicky, somewhat obtrusive, tourist-trap activity. However, when one has kids who require a little excitement, not to mention a break from walking, well, they’re just the ticket. While I’d avoided them in London, Paris, and Madrid, I acquiesced in Sevilla – and they’re awesome. It doesn’t look fun just standing there, but it is! You’re never just standing, and at the end of our hour and a half my Segway muscles were worn out. A further note: We’d booked with a big company, but couldn’t find parking (hectic frustration situation forgotten here). When we did find parking on the street, Charlie found another Segway tour company, and it was a score. Rosa, our guide, was fun, charming, and knowledgeable, but most of all a patient and encouraging teacher for those in our party that were somewhat thrown by the Segway dynamic. In any case, pix & clips…
