Well well another travel day.
It just continues.
It sure does.
So good morning guys.
Good morning good morning.
We are here in Valencia, Spain.
Yes.
At the moment.
We had a brilliant five nights here.
Mmmhmm.
I think out of all of the places we've gone so far with my parents this maybe the favorite
spot.
And I think the big reason was because we had the Central Market.
Yeah.
Right outside.
We're going to show you the views as well when we give you the apartment tour but it
was great.
My parents have kind of already talked about maybe coming here as a winter escape.
It is just a very liveable city.
There aren't maybe as many attractions as in places like Madrid or Lisbon or some of
the other places we've gone to.
But it just has a very it is a very liveable city and it is just we've all really enjoyed
it.
The weather hasn't been amazing.
We've had more rainy days yeah that is true.
It was kind of the first time where we felt yeah this is real winter weather.
Yeah.
But anyways we really enjoyed it and today we're going on a long trip to Granada.
To Granada. 8 hours on the bus?
Something like that.
Oh yeah.
It is going to be a long trip.
But before we do that we'll give you an apartment tour of our place here in Valencia.
Let's do that.
Okay so we are starting this apartment tour right in the living area.
Yeah because the best thing about this apartment was obviously the views of the market.
Yeah.
An amazing view and don't mind the construction.
There is a whole bunch of construction.
They are renovating the apartment upstairs.
They are renovating the apartment.
It has been noisy in here during the day.
Anyways without further adieu let's check out the views.
I'll open the door for you.
Do do do.
So you can just go out and show it.
Look at that.
That is pretty awesome.
That is the market.
And we went there basically every day that it was open right?
We went there every single day that it was open.
Okay so we absolutely loved the market.
It had a very local vibe in the sense that there was lots of produce and meat being sold.
Prices were really reasonable.
And we ended up going there everyday that it was open.
Yeah.
Literally.
Either for a pickup or for a quick bite or to buy our produce.
Like we really made good use of that market.
Yes.
I think if we ever came back here again we'd want to stay in the exact same area.
Right by the market.
Yeah.
Alright so tour time.
Yeah, tour time.
So we had a pretty cool living space.
Um this was the table.
It was really good.
Dining area.
The 4 of us ate here we also did work.
Yeah.
Out here as well.
There was another little tiny little workdesk.
You wouldn't call it a work desk.
Haha.
That is what we turned it into.
Just a table and a chair.
My Dad was mostly using it.
And then we had a couch.
Big couch.
We also utilized that pretty much.
If you come into the kitchen here you can see that it was cool they had an Espresso
machine.
We made some coffee.
Fancy coffee maker.
Yeah, it took us a while to figure out how to use this stove.
Oh my gosh.
Electric stoves.
Yeah.
The bane of our existence.
Teka.
It was so finicky and fussy like there was a pot that we thought covered this element
but not quite and so it wouldn't work.
So we had to eventually use a much bigger pot but we spent a very stressful half hour
kind of arguing over that.
Anyways yeah the kitchen was pretty much fully equipped.
We had everything we needed.
There wasn't a lot of extras but it was good enough.
Move into here.
I'll show you guys the bathroom.
The coolest feature of the bathroom was the double sink.
Double sink.
Gotta love that.
Toilet is just da da dah.
A normal toilet.
Come into here and it is still wet um.
The shower I'm not going to go in there.
The shower was kind of cool.
There were a lot of different options.
You could get it rainforest.
There was rainforest sprays.
But the thing that was kind of annoying was it didn't have great water pressure.
Yeah.
So yeah.
I think it is because an old building and we're on the top floor.
Probably.
Yeah that is probably it.
And the last thing for us to show you is the room.
Come on into here.
So the room.
Check out this wall.
Star themed.
Yeah, midnight sky.
So we just had two tiny beds.
Twin beds.
They weren't tiny.
They were single.
Yeah, I guess it is good enough.
Like just not a lot of room to roll over though.
Yeah.
And then we had a nice space here to hang up our clothes.
This is where we put our suitcases.
Luggage.
Yeah.
And right now it is ten thirty.
We've got a bus to catch at 12 so we should probably head out the door.
We'll pick things up again at the bus station before we board the bus to Granada.
Well we had a little bit of stress and confusion at the getting a taxi.
Tell us the whole deal.
The whole story.
This is the 1st time we've had to take two separate taxis.
Normally we fit with all of our luggage even in small little cars they make it work.
But this time around we created a traffic jam in front of the market.
People were honking.
People were honking at us.
We didn't get on at an official rank.
Understandably.
Yeah, understandably.
And we tried like 3 or 4 times to squeeze all of our bags in and it didn't work.
We tried different configurations.
Oh my gosh.
The honking got more intense.
Yeah.
So we finally got a cab.
It was a little bit stressful.
Yes.
But here we are.
Made it to the bus terminal.
My blood pressure is starting to slowly go down.
Yeah but I mean we got plenty of time to spare right now.
The good thing is that we always leave early.
Oh no you can't see that.
It is actually eleven.
Eleven.
We've got an hour basically.
We've got an hour until the bus leaves so kind of chilling out a bit and hopefully there
won't be anymore frazzled moments like that.
Like this for the rest of the journey.
Well we're just about to leave Valencia.
Any final thoughts?
I think you really enjoyed the place huh?
I was inspired by Valencia.
Why?
Look out our airbnb place we were right across from the market and there was all kinds of
spires on all of the buildings on top.
Inspired by the spires.
So we were very inspirational city.
Yeah and I think if you came back again you'd do a lot of biking wouldn't you?
Oh for sure.
The biking, did we do that in the last city or this city?
No we did it here.
We did it here.
We biked around the park.
I mean there is a great bio park that goes all the way around the outside of the basically
right through the city.
Yeah yeah.
So it is awesome.
It was awesome.
And compared to any of us you did more sightseeing.
Yesterday when there was a bit of a break from the rain you went out for a big walk.
Yeah I went to the west end of the trail.
Yeah.
And from there from the lookout point you were able to see the industrial part of the
city and then all of the rest of the parts of the city so it was kind of a neat way of
seeing it from there.
Yep.
A different perspective.
And now we've got an 8 hour bus ride.
Well yeah and I'm going to be sleeping a lot on this bus ride.
I bet.
I think we all are.
I'm full as a tick from breakfast.
Super omelet.
You made us a huge omelet with all of the leftover ingredients.
So we're all full.
We're not even picking up any baked goods.
No.
We're still digesting brunch.
We're good.
Alright so we've been on the road a few hours.
Yeah, it is 2 and a half now so our first stop here is Alicante.
Yeah.
Well actually there was another quick bus stop but we couldn't get off.
Benidorm.
Apparently this is going to be our only stop to eat.
We only had 20 minutes so I went and grabbed some stuff.
Got some chips.
I got some vanilla wafers.
Cookies.
Yeah.
Vanilla cookies.
Iced tea.
And then the best part is that a jamon sandwich.
Oh those are good.
Yeah a nice meat sandwich so we are all set.
We've been eating lots of those.
Yeah so we're all set and that should tide us to Granada where we hope to get a proper
dinner when we arrive.
Yes, we'll be ready for that.
Yeah.
We've been teleported to a pizzeria.
Much needed update.
So that was 8 very long hours on the bus.
Yes.
So I feel about as good as you can for being on the bus for 8 hours.
I don't feel as fatigued as everyone else.
Yeah.
I'm still tired.
I'm hungry.
We noticed right across the street there was a pizza hut and yes we're having gringo food
but we don't care.
We're hungry we've ordered a big family pizza and yeah we're going to devour it.
Um it should be here any minute and I forgot to tell you guys what the price of the bus
tickets were.
They were 34 no sorry 32 Euros per person.
And we kind of booked them last minute so I have a feeling if we had booked it a few
more weeks in advance we probably could have got a cheaper deal.
But anyways we are here.
Thrilled to be here.
Thrilled to be eating and we'll even be more thrilled to be checking into our airbnb soon.
Alright family familial pizza has arrived.
Family sized.
So we need someone to try it why don't you try it Dad.
I'll try a small piece here.
Grab a big slice.
And we got cheese in the crust.
Cheese in the crust and it is pepperoni lover so.
Mmmm.
Ready.
Mmm.
Pretty good?
Oh la lah.
We've got some pizza.
It is pretty good huh?
It is very good.
It is very good when you're hungry.
After a long bus ride.
Hahaha.
I agree.
It is really quite good.
Yep.
It is very hot too.
Very hot.
Fresh out of the oven.
I'm going to put mine in my salad bowl here for now.
Let it cool down.
Haha.
Alright guys.
We finally made it to the apartment.
What is it like nine thirty pm or 10 pm?
Tired.
I'm already in bed.
I'm under the covers.
On the computer.
I'm done.
Um we're going to watch Star Trek.
Yeah.
That is how we're going to end our day.
But we will have some more really cool videos we hope from Granada soon.
We're going to make travel food content and yeah we just need to rest and get a good night's
sleep.
So we'll see you on the next one.
Thanks for watching.
Bye.
