Hi everyone, wellcome back to my writing spot. First of all I gotta say thanks to you all for keeping track on this site and its posts and specially putting attention to what I'm doing over here. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do writing it. As you surely have noticed I've added certain features to it so it becomes a little bit more accesible and attractive for my "audience". Many of these I'll let you find out for yourselves, although I should mention that there's one which is very important: Suscribe option. With this feature, if you register your email account you shall then receive a notification every time I update this space or publish a new post, so it'll be easier for you all to keep track of any news on my adventures.
Today's post is about my activities during Eastern holidays right after Fallas ended (Thankfully after 5 days of little sleep and lots of partying). Basically Christine and I decided to remain in Valencia to take time to recover and also travel around without spending much more money. Therefore the first couple of days where destined to sleep, eat propperly and little going out on our behalf. Perhaps somedays we destined them to visit some of our friends and having some beers with them or drinking up some coffees on the usual places: uncomplicated things for umcomplicated times.
However it wasn't the plan to stay put the whole time, which is why we decided to make little excursions to places nearby our place. The very first one of them was Parque de Cabecera, which is a park located at the outskirts of Valencia where there is a lake and some bike paths: the perfect time to spend a day, having some picnics, flying kits or simply enjoying the sun. So we took the metro there and half an hour later we where there taking some time to walk or lay down as we went by. Actually it was also quite romantic cause the sole view of the lake, the sunset and my lovely companion (Yes, I'm talking about you Christine) made it a very special day. Although we just spent there till after sunset I'd say it was, in an overall, a really good day.
The next day we planned then a trip to Sagunto , to visit the ruins of the castle a previously talked about on another post and after that going to another place, depending on the time and effort we were willing to put into sightseeing. And so we did. Early in the morning we took the train to Sagunto and reached there on time to have some breakfast and then visiting the castle. I really can't describe the beautiful sight it was to see my girl on this really nice sorroundings and thats why I went a little bit crazy with the pics I took of her (as you can see on the slideshow at the beginning of this post). Although we hadn't spent that much time on the top of the castle the clouds and the widn warning us of an incoming storm made us go back to the town and sit down to have something for lunch. Actually this was a very good idea cause then it started reaining and it was quite a releif to be inside a coffee shop having a warm drink and not only because we were not getting wet, but for the good planning we had the chance to make about our next destination: Castellón.
This little city is actually a small version of Valencia: a place near the beach with tourist/summer oriented structure, just one hour away from home. What we didnt expect was that the rain was even tougher over there and we were doubting about what to do when we arrived at the train station. Since we didn't go there for nothing, Christine and I decided to move forward and explore at least a little bit of the place, stopping from time to time in coffee shops and places like these when rain was to bad to bare. This was the only bad thing about this trip I would say, because the city was lovely and we almost made it to the beach (sort of like 4 km from the train station) so we did walked a lot. Again the view of my beatiful girl and the soaky-sad-look of the city made me go crazy with my camera and also took a whole bunch of pictures of Christine posing for me with some stuff at the background.
That's the end of our Eastern adventures because after that, next monday, I had to go to work and also during that week Christine had to leave back to Germany, so vacation time was over. What was left was to keep on our Beer/coffee routine while we could and starting to prepare ourselves to face "reality" once more. That's it my friends, keep track then to get the first glimps at my next posts. See ya!
