Day 6 – A Taste of Valencia

We weren’t expecting to be overwhelmed by Valencia and we weren’t!  It was OK and we walked round for about 3 hours and finished with a beer and a coffee on one of the main squares.

The shuttle bus each way worked well and it wasn’t a 30-minute ride as indicated but rather 15-20 minutes, most of which seemed to involve waiting at red lights!

There’s a good deal of pedestrianisation, but nevertheless and, as you might expect, cars and mopeds/motorbikes insist on roaring along them scattering pedestrians in their wake.

We did find some free wifi in the slightly cramped terminal building so I'm hoping to put this update on to the blog without eating unduly into my ship’s Internet minutes.

We got back round 2pm, just the right time for a chicken escalope, chips and side salad meal on the open area at the back of the ship.  Everyone is now making the most of the sunshine and the nicely warm afternoon and sun beds are now at a premium and the towels in the outdoor towel cupboard have run out!

Tonight is a ‘normal’ night, so there probably won’t be much to report later today and then tomorrow it’s Barcelona.

We’ve had our disembarkation papers and were amazed to read that we don’t have to leave the ship until about 11am on Saturday.  That must be the latest we’ve ever been allowed to stay on the last day and we’ve certainly had some early starts over the years.
