Day 21 - Traffic Jams


Our last day with the car was not a very enjoyable one as we spent most of the day caught up in traffic jams as we made our way to Valencia. What should have been a 2 to 3 hour journey turned into about 5 hours and to make it worse it was another blue dome day making it a long and frustrating hot drive. Thank god for aircon. We finally made it to the airport with no extra charge for being late and headed into town to our hostel, the Red Nest, somewhere I'd highly recommend as we were immediately impressed with the feel of it and its awesome location.
We were all a bit jaded from our draining car journey so some delicious tapas after a wander around the city was about all we could muster up for the afternoon. Valencia did however look like it had to offer with its gorgeous architecture (what's new for Spain!) and delicious looking eateries tempting us in every which direction.
