Le grand tour

Set off for Valencia on foot. Charlie immediately struggling with the heat. Footpath and cycleway all the way, stopped for a beer with all of the spaniards, and then ploughed on. A bit too much for the little bear, I had to carry him for 10 minutes to give him a break. When we arrived at the southern end there were gobsmacking views of the stupendous architecture, the Oceangraphic building, the Science building etc. Had a well earned cold beer, then walked on another 20 minutes. Spotted a little restaurant and had a gorgous meal of ceasar salad and a fillet of steak. A government phone alert buzzed everyone about the incoming storm, obviously hyper sensitive after last year when over 200 lost their lives. Walked onto the historic centre and stopped at an Irish bar for happy hour and got chatting to an Irish girl and her dutch mate who'd settled there. Got a cab back for about £20, then had quite a scene where we were told we should leave as the storm was imminent. We played it by ear, and despite thunder and lightning, the deluge didn't arrive, amazingly. When we woke in the morning we could see that 90% of people had left! 10 miles walked today!Okumaya devam et
