22 & 23 - Valencia

So, quick update, I haven't done a WHOLE lot.

Day 22 - I traveled on the bus to Valencia today. The bus was as per usual, I was pretty sick though, so I slept a bit.

I arrived in Valencia around 1.30pm, and I didn't do much. I met a nurse from Melbourne in my hostel, and she told me what anti-biotics to go get over the counter, because guess what?!?! You can do that here!!! So i went and bought those.

Later that night I went out with the nurse Page and her friend who was in my room Sam, and another Page in my room. Turns out Sam is from Frankston, and knows Jodie, and my cousin?? weird. Thats 3 people from Frankston in 3 weeks... wonder if this will continue.

We went to a paella restaurant, and ordered a HUGE half half paella with rabbit, chicken, and seafood. I didn't eat because I was still sick and had NO appetite. Even when I TRIED the food I couldn't taste it :(

That day was pretty cruisy.

Day 23 - So I booked tickets for the science museum and a dinosaur exhibition today. Valencia has a HUGE centre for arts and sciences, they have 5 amazing buildings in a row (I got photos) And the biggest aquarium in Europe. I didn't go to the aquarium because it was really expensive entry, and.... it's fish right?? lol.

Anyway the science museum was REALLY cool, three HUGE levels, and the top and bottom were completely interactive like science works, was super fun. There was a marvel superhero exhibition, that was right up my alley. Spent hours in that place.

Then I bought tickets to an exhibition in another building that had mechanical dinosours. It wasn't as good ad I had hoped, They only really moved like a leg or like their tail, or their head a little. But oh well.

Then I caught the bus home. HOTTEST thing I've experienced since I've been in Europe... oh my god.

Then I had a siesta and later that night went out for dinner with the same girls, and had tapas. GOOD tapas! We ate heaps, calamari, crabs legs, sausages, grilled veggies, a tuna and egg salad, and Sangria, lots of sangria. We bargained with the girl to give us a free jug even!

Good night.

Anyway now I'm just waiting for my bus to come to take me to Madrid, apparently its SUPER hot :(

Things that made me happy in Valencia; Cheap sangria, getting onto antibiotics.

Things that made me sad in Valencia; Buying off yogurt... :S
