VALENCIA

big post this time round!
i just got back from my first half term break, where I went to VALENCIA for 5 day!!
i went with Emma, a friend from st cuths who is working at a school in greenwich for the year, and it was amazing to finally get some vitamin d again after not seeing the sun for a solid month. it got to 26 degrees one day, so i am coming back to school with some really cute tan lines from my sunglasses :) we stayed in an amazing hostel that was opposite el mercado central, and a 5min walk from two of the main squares in the city. The city is beautiful, and we spent the whole first day getting lost down the tiny alleyways and side streets, we were also very touristy, and went to the zoo, the hemisferic, aquarium and the science museum on a great tourist bus, even managed to do a bit of shopping. While it wasn't a very relaxing break it was heaps of fun and definitely worth it just to get some sunlight.
Emma and I are already making plans for our next half term break in may!!!
here are some of the 322 photos we took in 5 days haha...
