The wheels on the bus go round then ... stop
The intention for today's outing is to do the two routes of the Hop-On Hop-Off bus. After a late start, we bought tickets and started on the Maritime route as it included the ncredible buildings that make up the arts and science precinct of Valencia.

CARAVACA DE LA CRUZ
El segundo día visitamos Caravaca de la Cruz y los pueblos de los alrededores ...

Those giant alien-like buildings in water that we crossed on the bridge on the way to Alicante were actually all the buildings that make up La Ciudad de las Artes y Ciencias.There's a science museum full of nifty experiments and shows (we saw Emily conduct electricity and saw her hair stand on end), and an aquarium where I almost felt bad that seafood is my food of choice!
There are some crazy fish in there- some ...
