L'Oceonografic, Valencia, Spain




This morning we got up and ready to go out quickly.  In about an hour my Mum, Dad, Sister and I were setting off in the car for a 1 hour journey to Valencia. We were going to visit the Aquarium called l'Oceonografic and have a look round Valencia.

When we arrived we parked in an underground car park and then headed for the Aquarium. We got to the Aquarium and saw how long the queue was, it went out of the entrance gates and right round the corner! So we decided to look round Valencia, and we were also gasping for a drink as it was boiling hot.

After a few minutes of walking, we went into a shop called El Court Ingles and into their cafe to get a drink.  The cafe was on the top floor and it was lovely sitting and admiring the views of the city from up there. Once we had finished our drinks and paid the bill, we looked around the shop.

We started to get hungry and so we left the shop and walked round the city trying to find a restaurant.  Not long afterwards we found a shopping center and went inside to get some tapas.

After we had eaten we went back to the Aquarium and we were amazed and delighted to see that the queue was gone! So we bought tickets and went inside to explore. We even saw sharks and Beluga whales!

Finally, once we had looked around everywhere, we went to the gift shop and bought some souvenirs. Then we went back to the car park and drove home. Despite costing us 100 euros for a family ticket, we all thought that it was well worth it!
