Today we took the shuttle bus into the downtown area. Valencia is really pretty and the people are really nice. After walking around for a few hours we took the shuttle back to the ship to grab some lunch.
After lunch, we decided to walk to the science center which was about 30 minutes away. The science center consists of three modern buildings which are really cool and unique. It reminded us of buildings that we saw in Dubai.

We grabbed a drink at this cool bar and then after that, we grabbed a bite to eat at this amazing spot called Bar Canete. We had so much fun that we missed our pre-scheduled appointment to see the inside of Sagrada Familia which is the world-famous Gaudi Basilica.

Family is really important to us.

John wanted to purchase some new sports jackets to wear on the cruise we would be on in a few days.

We got a chance to enjoy the last few hours with them and their amazing kids Lefa & Luca.
