Hello all

Have had a very busy week. After been in Barcelona for 2 days we headed down to Valencia. Valencia was lovely, very relaxed and hot. The youth hostel had a roof terrace so did a spot of sunbathing. The buildings were fantastic and had a fab time. We went on a bus tour in the evening and were treated to a firework display - spectacular. After 2 days in Valencia we went back to Barcelona for a day to look at a few things we had missed out previously. It was just as good - we love that city and want to go back. We are in Nice and it is very nice . We went into some gorgeous gardens this morning high over Nice, fantastic 360 views of the city and bright blue sea. Walked along Promenade de l'anglais and then went to the cathedral. Later this afternoon we went through the old streets of Nice and found a tea shop that did a good old cup of tea - this has been in short supply since being away! Moving onto Italy tomorrow morning, so it is go go go!
