Valencia.. interesting days...

Our naked man on the beach.. not supposed to be at the top of this post.. but hey we are technophobic!!

And below.. our great dinner at El Saler a few miles from our camground. Eels, snails, asparagus and tiny fish (delicious I might add!!)

Left.. another of the architechtural wonders of Valencia..dont bother to pay to go inside.. its a waste of space with Kelly Tarltons having a lot more to offer and of course, a lot bloody closer.


Above is another of the structures as part of Oceanographic Centre.. outside much better than the inside!!

And below.. the Tourist bus.. we were just too hot and bothered to walk .. and of course Coraleen had just been robbed!

















After our Euphoric win at the Louis Vuitton it was beach time, after 5pm when we arrived and there were still about 100 people on the beach.. but.. most of the men were totally naked. Very few women wear tops anyway but it was only the second time we had seen naked men.. and never so many of them. Coraleen and I were discussing the merits of various appendages as we plonked oursleves down to soak up some more rays. They were walking up and down as if getting some exercise or perhaps on show? mind you the guy doing that had the smallest willy I have ever seen. One man in particular.. in his 50´s came over to talk to us. I must say it was rather disconcerting to have a totally naked stranger standing over you haveing a normal conversation. When he discovered we were from NZ he mentioned the AB´s and I could hear Coraleen say.. if he starts doing the haka I am going to wet myself.. and sure enough he did!! it´s true... it´s true I tell you.

And then last night we went to El Saler for dinner.. our first dinner out since arriving in Europe. We chose the local fare .. half a litre of Sangria.. eels, snails (I now know how they cook those little blighters) cuttlefish and asparagus. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The eels were boney but they come apart like Flounder and the sauce they were in.. garlic and lightly spice tomatoes.. delicissimo! The snails werent anything to rave about and bloody difficult to prize from their shells even when cooked.


There was no sunon Sunday and as its our last day here so we went into town after getting up late (as per usual) and are going to do the Tourist Bus thing and drive around the sights just to make sure we have seen them all. And then tomorrow it´s off towards Barcelona staying at Morella and Tarragona on the way.
