Day 3 19/11/07 - Spain

Valencia -> London

Highlight

• We checked out without any problems, unlike check in.
• Took the bus to the old town and walked around some more sights.
• Glorieta – park with lots of trees next to the Puerta de la Mer – big archway roundabout thing. Slokky took ages to take pictures.
• Went to Santo Domingo and finally found Palacio Cervello, but it was closed 
• Carmen – the hippy, graffitied part of town. It’s much less buzzy than I expected, with only a few old people, but they did have a secondary market outside, before winding our way to the central market again.
• We picked up spices, ham, bread, pastries and antipasto after a long deliberation, but we didn’t get any mushrooms or fruit.
• Tried to go to <>, the only reason for going to town, but it wasn’t even open, it must be very low season, so it was a waste.
• Did manage to find another horno patissier with very good pastries and olive tarts.
• caught the bus back for more photos of the Science Centre, then spent the rest of the time, until 7pm in fact, there.
• We spent most of our time looking at the display of the complete genes, as we had seen other displays recently. There were lots of interactive displays: Amazon, space, addictions, light, wind, sports. Our favourite was the sports section with heaps of activities.
• Just had time to get to the supermarket and food shop before heading to the airport.
• Our Bono metro ran out, must be because we spent more than 1 hour retrieving the laptop.
• Ate our food on the metro, straight to airport and on plane
• Slokky didn’t get lost once today!
