On June 13th we drove to Valencia to see the City of Science and Arts. This is a huge complex with many buildings. We only had time for the aquarium. Everyone seemed to agree that this was at the top of the list of things to see.
Not the aquarium - but a lot of fun water things to do between some of the major exhibit buildings.
The aquarium.
Reading about nature in the lagoon.
Exhibits in the aquarium. We found a cafe in this section of the aquarium - food was acceptable and no one was starving anymore as it was already past 2pm.
The penguin exhibit was also popular.
Tortoises
Whales, sharks, tortoises and more!
Just as we were finishing up the aquarium, it started to rain. The drive home was extremely stressful! At times it rained so hard you had almost 0 visibility on the highway. Everyone slowed way down. Luckily no one stopped which would have been really dangerous. As we got closer to Benidorm the rain let up. We got into the house and shortly after - the deluge of rain happened over our house! We were very glad to be out of it. Then as the rain subsided a rainbow appeared. I only caught the end of it.
The aquarium looks delightful!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of A on the shell, like Venus emerging from the foam. Perhaps he is emerging as the god of roller coasters?
