Day 10 - Valencia, Spain

Activities

Official Rest Day
Market
Shopping practice

Highlight(s)

• Taking the opportunity for a rest day after a really busy and hot few days on the go.
  
• The lady that served us at the fruit shop had looks like a movie star - you don't get that at Prahran market.
  
• Lunch at the little Italian place. The handmade duck ravioli needed another run.
  
• We took the opportunity to do a little shopping practice in preparation for Rome.
  
• Miguel's Gelati count - 13
  

Odd Spot

* Our newly invented launguage is taking on a life of it's own - 5%!S(MISSING)panish, 45%!I(MISSING)talian and 50%!E(MISSING)nglish with a strange Mexican accent.
* How was the bloke at breakfast that stole my chair whilst we were at the buffet? We were at a table for two, which was visibly occupied give our sunglasses and other items on the table. There was a table of two women dirrectly behind having breakfast - and when we had returned from the buffet - a third person (some guy) had joined them. Rather than grabbing one of the other 30 empty chairs in the room - he spins mine around and joins the two women behind us.

Weather

Hot and sunny. High temperature of 34 degrees.

Valencia Market
Miguel was enchanted by the stunningly good looks of the fruit girl. Why have we got so much fruit now?

Olive Heaven
Too many choices...

Deli and Butcher
The delis and butchers had all kinds of weird and wonderful offerings. You could even get yourself a fresh pig's face if you so desired.

Training
This training run very nearly turned into match day when Joc spotted this little number...

Maramao
Our favourite little italian place in Spain.

Nice work on the Blog
Damn fine work on the blog guys. Sounds like you're coping with the adventure just fine. I like the guy's style who stole your seat...there were women to be enchanted and obviously not a moment to be wasted.
