Elaine and Mark came to Stay

We had guests.  Mark and Elaine came to stay for a couple of days!  You can't see everything in Valencia in one day and a bit, so we were a bit selective.  They took themselves off to see some touristy things and we all experienced the Mascleta. (all will be revealed about the Mascleta in the next blog). 

In the evening Rod cooked his famous Paella and we went out for a walk and a drink. A brilliant day.

The next day we caught the bus to the Arts and Science Park and Elaine said how much she would like to go to the Oceanographic Centre.  So we did..... something new for us.  It's really a big aquarium over a huge space with different buildings with different areas of the world, and also a big dome with wetland bird habitat.

What a fabulous place and we spent all afternoon there.

Stunning Beluga Whales

We staggered out about 5pm, had a quick walk past the science centre and then caught the bus home.  Our feet were throbbing.

In the evening we stayed local for tapas.
And then they were gone early the following morning.   A whistle stop tour.  A great time had by all.
