Xanthe: News from the last week


At the City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia

well we made it to Spain! Spain looks quite deserty and a bit dry - maybe that's because of the heat. we spent our first day in Valencia just blobbing at the campground. the campground has a pool and restaurant and supermarket but they are all closed! in the afternoon we went to the beach to cool off a bit, but only me, lucas and mum went for a swim. the next day we went shopping in the morning/lunch and got some things. in the afternoon we went to the science museum, which is awesome. there is loads of interactive stuff and i even saw a chicken hatch. the next day we went to the oceanografic centre. there was fish, turtles, penguins, seals, crabs, birds, BELUGA WHALES ( which were so cute ) and an awesome dolphin show. then we went shopping again and bought some more stuff. the next day we drove to barcelona and saw a smallish Colosseum on the way. we took the bus into town in barcelona, looked at markets, got some snacks and then drove to France.
