Heya,

Last week I've been in Valencia. Seven whole days of sun, cocktails, good food and relaxing. A welcome treat to my body after a couple of months of revalidation!!

The weather was really good. 35°C but it wasn't actually hot. It felt nice and comfortable. We've had some clouds on the first day and a bit of rain the last. The rest was all empty skies. It was a shock to get back home though, with a difference of 20°C... Brrrrr

Anyway Nathalie and I have taken a load of pictures that we still need to sort out a bit, but there are a few to show already

Departure in Charleroi Belgium.

Modern Structures by the architect Santiago Calatrava. It's a complete science park. Every building houses something else connected to science.

This was shot in a big botanic garden that took in street cats. It was really cool to see all these cats (dozens of them) relaxing and having fun here. Too bad the battery died here because there was so much to photograph here

Beluga Whale (the oceanografic's pride) Strange thing is that these Beluga really seemed to look at you and sometimes even strike a pose for a picture. Sounds odd I know, but it really felt that way. It was nice that they actually changed the temperature of this building for the arctic animals here. It was really chilly in there

It was a nice vacation. I really enjoyed it. Haven't been that relaxed and happy in a while

I was tired when I got back, but now I wish I was still there. Anyway, normal life starts again, best start looking forward to the next holiday
