Valencia, days two and three

Sunday September 17

Today, after a relaxed lunch we walked around the centre of town exploring before deciding to take advantage of the beautiful weather and head to the beach. We headed back to the hostel, locked up our valuables and took the "fast tram" down to the beach where we whiled away the
afternoon, swimming and chilling out on the sand. We returned a few hours later, hungry and beached out, and went out for dinner. After that we went to bed, all a little sunburnt - I think it's comical that the only time I got burnt in Europe was in Autumn, not Summer.

Monday September 18

Today we explored a few churches including the Cathedral where we climbed the tower. From there we had a great bird's eye view of Spain's third largest city - even seeing to the coast. We then wandered around the market before heading to the train station where we caught the bus
to a collection of modernistic, Stargate style buildings; the Art Museum, the Science Museum and the IMAX and Planetarium. Unprepared to pay the exorbitant entrance fees we then mad our way back to the hostel for a siesta. After resting for a while we headed out for dinner for
Paella, to a place recommended by the hostel. Although it was nice, it didn't match my first Paella in Tarragona. We then hit the sack in anticipation of our return to Barcelona, from where I will fly on to London on Wednesday.
