We arrived in Valencia today. When we exited the ship, we were surprised to see a long line of travelers and one Greyhound-Style bus. Hummm, several thousand passengers and crew and only one bus?? There was no way we could have possibly walked into the center of town. Across from that buss was one that went to the terminal; from there one must take a taxi to the center of town. The latter was our choice. We shared a taxi to the center of town where we, surprisingly, met 2 of our table mates.
We, our jolly 4, walked about the city. It was a sleepy city at that time. Sunday and before 11:00 is not the time to expect shops and other things of interest to be open. We enjoyed the beautiful parks, horses on parade, and the architecture of the city. The walk was interesting and it was nice to walk on dry land without constant movement; that movement is wonderful for putting one to sleep.
Upon returning to the ship, we went to the plentiful buffet and had lunch while gazing at the beautiful blue Mediterranean Sea. It is hard to believe that it has been 16 days already and some of our new friends will be leaving us in a few short hours in Barcelona. This is an adventure. With luck, the rest of the cruise will be present more opportunities to see and learn new things.
Good bye Atlantic Crossing!
These are the people we ate with on the ship. The other picture is a traffic jam, worse than LA trying to get on the ferry,---no really; it is storage for new cars.
here were protests the day we were in valencia. Just because we told then to "get a Job" was no reason to get upset.
