Valencia At Last!



We made it to Valencia just in time to pick up our next guest, Gwinn. Gwinn is Johns cousin and we were very excited to have another guest onboard Jay Sea Dee. Due to the language barrier with the marina, we were having trouble finding our berth and found Gwinn there as we pulled in. Because it was a long run from Valencia to Ibiza we decided to sail back to Denia and head to Ibiza from there. So while in Valencia we did our city tour on foot using the metro system along the way. We found a great piazza with fountains and pigeons and just great people watching. Then we headed to The Oceanaquarium where Gwinn had made reservations for us for dinner...yes at 9pm. Along the way we passed some beautiful buildings with architecture that seemed almost unbelievable. Valencia hosted the last America's Cup sailing race and built up much of the old city into a new age venue. Our dinner was great! We had the fish swimming around us as we ate...it was just very peaceful to watch. The next day we were off sailing to Denia again.
