Valencia 2018, Day 2

21/03/2018

Woke up to a very nice golden hour, then moved to an airbnb. The host left us some delicious supplies from the local market. We then had a mooch around said market and spent lots of time saying things like "oooh, aren't these peppers big?" (the peppers were big though, for real).

After our mooch, we mooched on to the Apple Store to try and get a temporary keyboard since mine's busted, but then Charlotte remembered that they have a different layout to us, so I can either get used to right Command being space for a while, or ñ being in the way. I opted for the former.

We ventured further and ended up back in the river looking at trees and listening to the birds and almost getting mown down by joggers. It's all just very nice and relaxed and not home.

I am also enjoying my book. You should read this book, and listen if Geoff Owen recommends you a book.


I was hoping to go home having done lots of good practice at Spanish, but it's difficult to keep at it. Every time I manage to do something, I end up getting myself stuck in a conversation that's way above my head, then fall back to a load of fumbling and embarrassment. Classic Brit abroad, I suppose
