Lenny's Looking for Some Sunshine

[cyberyacht]

If you want peace and quiet, you don't go to Spain. The Spanish are born noisy. Your Dutch neighbours are obviously going native.

Went into Valencia today, didn't think much of it just a big city.

Station was impressive.

Did you go to the dried up river and the exhibition centre? ..they might have had the fallas on display

 

[Lenny HB]

City Hall good as well.

Saw the river, it was merky and drizzling off & on all day then started raining about 4 so gave up soon after.
Depending on weather may go back in tomorrow, not excited about the idea.

 

[Lenny HB]

Didn't do very well on the grub today, salads were good but the paella was naff and I practically had to carry 'er indoors out of the restaurant after she had a small glass of sangria.

We had a lovely 'camper-cooked' fry-up ... It was yummy!

Got a couple of packs of bacon in the fridge but not that bothered about fry ups nowadays. Had a breakfast on the ferry but that was because it was all they were serving at lunch time, 1st one this year.

If its dry its nice for cycling. But just realised the fallas festival was last month so they won't be there.

You missed the best bits. The modern architectural Park nearer to the port is very impressive. Could spend all day walking round it but it was too wet and cold when we were there

 

[Northernraider]

Also be sure to go along to port saplaya for a looksee , its quite nice and only a 3km walk or cycle from valencia

Not cold but got rather wet, been tipping down this morning but stopped now so looking at going in again but forecast not good.

Lenny, remind us why you have gone to Spain ? Not for the weather

 

[RustyRuss]

Took ½ hour to get through immigration can't blame the French, idiots in the queue who hadn't checked their phone had logged onto a French network so couldn't bring up their vac QR code for scanning. We sussed it straight away so we were prepared when we got to the booth.

Hi Lenny, give all us MoHo first timers that will be heading to France a little heads up on this please. Presumably we need to download our NHS QR code from the NHS app whilst still in the UK? Did you then stick it in the “wallet” in your phone? Can this then be accessed when using, say, French Vodafone? We didn’t have phones with “wallets” in them in 2018 when I was last in France and we didn’t need lots of post Brexit & Covid paperwork either.

Thanks in Advance! Have a great time!

Cheers!

Russ

I don't use wallet, NHS app fine at the ports. If restaurants sill want the QR code best to download the French app and transfer it across.

The QR code or indeed any proof of vaccination is no longer required by any establishment for entry at the moment.

Go to Google Play and type in tousanticovid, then download, as I said in post just above there is no longer a requirement to show for entry to bars, restaurants, shopping centres etc. (I live in France).

Its karma because he kept laughing at me getting bad weather in Greece etc.

But its April it should be boiling in Spain.

It is when it isn't cloudy!

 

[Val 3 dogs]

or raining!

 

[PhilandMena]

Great way of getting some space, have a pvc.
As it’s as bad as you say.
Therefore my conclusion is , we will be left on our own.
a win win for me!

Some of the newer ones are impressive I.M.O. and have been well designed. Very, very expensive though. The older ones are limited in their storage capacity and OK for young bendy people. Also very restricted on space. We chose well with our Excel and its very comfortable for lounging and being stuck inside on those long cold/wet days you don't want to venture out.

 

[cyberyacht]

Can you imagine a UK railway station being as ornately decorated as the one in Lenny's pic?

Just right for Lenny then - under the circumstances !

You win but you were the only entry.
