Today was mostly a transit and sleep day. Millie and I got up early to head to the bus terminal to see if we could book a ticket for a bus to Valencia because we'd had issues doing it online.
We got to the bus station to find there were no available seats on any buses to Valencia so we decided to catch a train there. It was mor expensive but we caught the high speed train do it would only take 2 hrs or so.
We left at 9 and was there by just after 11. Our hotel was near a metro so after asking around we found the metro and jumped on so we could go straight to our hotel. It was nice to be in a comfy hotel room with fresh towels and sheets (the small things you start to appreciate while traveling).
I got in contact with Amy from my turkey/greece tour because they had two spare spots for the water and wine festival,but after talking to their organizers for the tour she said they won't let us cause we aren't part of the actual tour. So Millie and I decide to siesta true Spanish style and catch up with Dean and Laura later,Dean is Millie's cousin on the other side of her family but Sean and his sister Em are practically my cousins too so I was happy to have a catch up dinner instead.
Dean and Laura who is his girlfriend and iv known for ages were doing la Tom with top deck so they were staying not far from us so we organized to meet at a fountain in the main square at 8. Millie and I waited for an hour until we managed to get in contact and realised we were in different places haha. It was nice to have my first dinner in Valencia with my family,I had my first glass of sangria and vego paella yum!
It's amazing the culture over here,kids are running around at 111pm at night or even later,people are busking near where you eat do you have nice music to accompany your dinner and dinner is never before 9. Valencia is really pretty,old style not dirty and I didn't see any gypsies I don't think.
After dinner we all head home,as we all have early starts for la tomatina in the morning!
Over and out xx
