swing. Everywhere, people were launching their own fireworks and
smashing bangers against the floor, making one feel just like being in
wartime Iraq!
There were hardly any taxis running, and we waited 1.5hrs for one. We
would have taken a bus to our hotel, had there not been a bus strike
rendering the service virtually useless! We were starving so we got
some food from a nearby stall, assorted cuts (for €20!) and ate while
waiting. Finally, when there was one, Judy was away queuing at the
ladies room! One poor girl in front of us waited for so long, but for
some reason didn't accept her and she stood aside to make a phonecall.
Anyway, we arrived at Hotel Opera Valencia, and its literally next to
a "El Corte Ingles" shopping mall and the Aqua Mall that me bad my KHS
mates all went to during our previous trip to Valencia.
After showering, went to bed immediately and only woke up at 9am to
the sounds of early morning bomb raids, err I mean Fallas Festival
rejoiceful sounds! The breakfast was great: at last had decent coffee
and meat with scrambled eggs. The fruit deserves a mention for being
outstandingly fresh and juicy!
We're now going to take another nap before venturing outside to stock
up on stuff at the mall and touristy stuff.
Bye!
