Hi once again.  Janice here.  We are almost up to date on our blog.   I don't know if you have noticed but we have been drinking a 'wee' bit of wine on this trip.  We should have kept a bottle count.  The wine is so cheap here (we have paid as little as .99euros) and it is good.  We haven't found a bottle we didn't like. 
Thursday - Oct 18th (one month since we left home) - We got up early again to go back to Valencia. There is a place called Ciudad De La Artes Y Las Ciencias.  It is several futuristic buildings, the Opera house (a bit like the one in Sidney, Australia),  the Hemisferic, the Museum, the  Umbracle, the Agora and the Oceanografic. We spent about 4 hours there.  We wandered around the outside taking pictures and then paid to go into the Oceanografic.  It was like an aquarium.,  We had lunch, then we stated checking out the exhibits.  There were seals, penquins, pelicans, cormorants, whales, birds, dolphins etc. and lots and lots of fish.   There were a lot of tunnels where you went in and the fish were swimming around and above you. 
We headed back to Peniscola about 4:30PM. We didn't make any wrong turns this time getting out of Valencia. 
We picked a few things up at the Supermarket and had dinner at our villa and just relaxed, reading, working on the computer, Ed was checking out a place for our to visit on Friday.
I will sent photos shortly.
