Dolphins and Fish Galore

March 3, 2013-

Unfortunately, today we had to leave the beautiful city of Valencia. Although I wish we could have stayed another night, we had much to see before we headed back to Barcelona.

Our hotel had a complementary breakfast so waking up a little earlier for free breakfast was a must. And let me tell you, it was worth every second of it. For breakfast I had fresh peaches and pineapple, eggs and fried ham cut like bacon strips, and best of all TOAST. I had been craving butter and toast since I've been here since we don't have a toaster or oven at our apartment. Never in my life had I thought I'd crave toast: it's the basic things you miss most when you no longer have them. I have to say, it's the best breakfast I'd had in Spain thus far.

When we were finished with our heavenly breakfast, it was time to get back on the bus and head to the Valencia Aquarium: the largest in Europe. Due to the festivities of the night before, a couple of my friends didn't quite make it on the bus in time and they were left behind. Good thing the taxi driver found the aquarium so that they could meet up with us and finish the rest of the trip!

At the aquarium we walked around and visited the man different exhibits and then went to the Dolphin show.  It was probably the greatest show I've seen, I couldn't believe my eyes! 

After the Dolphin show, we headed to the beach for lunch. Although it was cloudy, the beaches of Spain are always beautiful. We were still in Valencia, so, even though the trip was short, we still got to see the beach. Lately I've been wanting to go to the beach just to watch the waves and relax, whether it was sunny or not, so this was the perfect afternoon for me: so relaxing.

Well, like they say "all good things come to an end," now it was time for the 5 hour bus ride back to Barca; and man, it was a long 5 hours. 

It was nice to be back in the city I have come to love. I am excited for next weekend to relax and explore the city more. Barca bucketlist here I come!
