Early Pick Up

As we did our packing yesterday there wasn't too much to do before collecting Juste and Joséphine at 9.30am. The day was sunny and the drive trouble free apart from me forgetting to make my tourist notes about Valencia readable in Dropbox offline. If you don't know about Dropbox, look it up on Google, it's a great wee application ... when it's used properly! I half remembered the name of a restaurant in Vinarós which had good write-ups but didn't hold out much hope of finding it. Well, luck sometimes comes to call and would you believe it, it was right in front of us when we came out of the underground car park! The menú del dia at 13€ was good value especially as our budgets didn't run to the gambas which the town is famed for. Apparently, they're the best in all Spain. A stroll down to the beach after lunch and then our destination, Valencia was only 1½ hours away.
It was easy to find the appartment, complete with security gates and conceierge with the GPS and we were soon settled in. After a snack it was out to stretch the legs with a walk to see the nearby futuristic architecture of the City of Arts and Sciences. Called into an Andalucian bar (where Juste was able to reminisce and dream of retiring to Cadiz) for a night cap of beer for the men and hot chocolate for Joséphine and myself.
