Distance: Cheating by bus!
Country: Spain
Song of the Day: King of the Road - R.E.M.
Last day in Valencia. I did want to see the Cathedral before I left. So I toured that, a nice cathedral. Oh, and they also have the holy grail. Yep, that holy grail. Apparently the only one recognized by the Catholic church as the (possible) actual holy grail. Not much to look at though. It is a tiny cup set in a gaudy medieval stand. Still, seeing what could possible by the real cup of Christ, was worth a look.
I then hiked up the Michaelette. This is the bell tower for the cathedral. Like Big
Ben, the tower is actually named after the main bell. The name roughly translates to "little Michael". The bell is actually pretty large, and loud when it rings (on the hour).Back at the hostel I went and checked out. I hung out and used there internet for a bit. I did a couple of updates to this blog before leaving. I then headed over to Tim and Joe's place. Tim had offered to give me some of the movies he had on his computer. With all the biking and camping I should be doing, I don't know how much time there will be to watch movies, but I am sure it will happen. While I was there Tim offered me some lunch, which was great. Then Joe came back and we ended up hanging out for a second evening in a row. Tim even made some dinner, which was great. A big thanks for your hospitality.
Late into the evening I went to get on a bus to Granada. I know, cheating, but I really need to get a boat to Morocco. Plus I was told to go to the Alhambra. So Granada is the next stop. It was a night bus, so not very exciting, not really comfortable. I did try to sleep as much as I could though. Plus if you are annoyed that I am cheating again, fear not. My actions brought their own retribution. As I was putting my bike away I ran my one pair of pants (the ones with the zip of legs) up against my chain. Then again when getting it off the bus. So now I have a huge black stain there.
