This morning we woke up at a reasonable hour, ate breakfast and made our way to the new city of Valencia. The architecture was so unreal, it was like something out of a movie. It's so modern and weirdly designed , some of the buildings looked like helmets and blimps. We chose to go to the aquarium called the oceaniografic because we found out it's the biggest aquarium in Europe. It was really pretty at this place, but a lot of the enclosures were outside and on a...

Just a quick blog about Sunday. We woke up at 3pm which was our biggest sleep in yet! It was funny when we got to the kitchen to make brekky, because everyone was doing the same! It seems like everyone had a big Saturday night. Nearly everything is closed on Sunday, so we didn't want to risk going to the aquarium and planetarium, so we bussed back to the markets near the beach. I bought a ring and a necklace for two euros. The girls got braids in their hair. Moll...

The beach had pebbles and crushed shells imbedded underneath the waters surface. The water was ...

I woke up on Thursday to the warm sunny Barcelona. We're staying right on the main city street near Catalunya station which is a perfect location. As it was 1 30 and we were still pretty tired we thought a beach day would be suitable. we had to catch a train and a tram to a cleaner beach a tour guide recommended. However we actually caught the tram the wrong way which took us to olimpica beach. It was still relaxing to just lie on the beach in the sun and also go...
