Sorry I thought I had updated this yesterday!
Day 9 - Me and Vero ventured to Aqua, a shopping centre we'd usually go to, and met up with the old friend again. We had lunch at a place called Lemongrass, lovely chinese food :) couldn't quite manage to finish it all, bit too much, but still tasted fantastic! Then did a bit of shopping, grabbing a few things on my 'to buy in Spain' list. Old friend left after not too long. And me and Vero ventured to a little cafe place to grab ice cream/granizado de limon/horchata... for a change! The rest of the afternoon was spent at Vero's house, out in the pool and sunbathing and taking photos on the underwater camera. We went out on the night to Heron City to go and chill out and see about getting my tattoo... However for five tiny little roman numerals he wanted to charge €70, so fair to say I turned that down. Didn't see the point when I could get it done back in the same place I got my last one in Stirling, by a person I know will do a good job and not charge a ridiculous fortune for! I think me and Vero were both a little disappointed about not getting the tattoo done, but such as life! Still a good night though, had an awesome chocolate crepe and a frozen yoghurt at Smöoy and then came back home.
Day 10 - Last day here today. Got up early to head into the centre of Valencia and get the underwater photos developed. We couldn't pick them up until the afternoon so we had a little wander around some shops and got a horchata before heading back to Vero's to chill for the rest of the day. Spent a couple of hours out in the pool and sunbathing and then got dressed and headed back to Heron City to go to a free viewing at this 5D movie thing they just opened. It was quite good if a little disturbing, what with a cartoon elephant being electrocuted and wasps flying out at your face as if they were going to sting you. But it was a good idea the whole thing, the chairs vibrated and moved and air and water was blown in your face, and a rope thing flicked at your legs along with the 3D film. Don't quite think it can be described as a 5D experience but then again, they're only just testing it. We then went back into Valencia again (dejá vu, no?) to collect the photos from the development place - crossing roads to avoid people we really didn't expect or want to see. And back to Vero's, again. My suitcase is all packed now and had a lovely long shower. Think I've managed to get a bit of a tan whilst I've been here, a little bit at least... Looking forward to being home though, and looking forward to cuddles again :)
