After what looked like it was going to be yet another windless day - things picked up and finally all races were completed. Team NZ won both their races (better day than yesterday). So - 2 1/2 days racing out of 10 (yesterday was supposed to be a day off - but that had to be scrapped to try and fit more days into the schedule to replace those lost). Where is the WIND???
But - true to form - the kids and I kept the positive campfires burning (what racing?) and continued to explore. Today we ventured to the national aquarium. A huge day with alot of walking in the sun...but some magical moments. After the dolphin show the dolphins came right up to the kids (viewing through a glass panel) and they "talked" to them for 20 mins. We also saw a white beluga whale, turtles, tropical fish (including lime green eels), mamoth walruses and of course, SHARKS!

TeamNZ, Monday 7 May
Readying for the start of race 6, south course. Emirates Team NZ whizz past the media boat.
We love Valencia Oranges!
The apartment
Apratment living (all 580 odd of them)
Arriving at Valencia train station
Finally there!
Transport
This is the best way to visit daddy - 45 min bike ride down the promonade. You have to look out for trees and spanish ladies (Hunter found out!!)
Gullivers Travels
In the old river Turia (river redirected long ago after continuous flooding) there are lots of playgrounds and bike tracks. The kids are playing on a huge giant Gulliver. There are lots of slides and stairs and ropes to climb. If you look hard you can see Gullivers head behind - the kids are standing on his arm.
The Spider Web
A huge rope spider web on the beach is very cool to climb up (Mum only spent a very SHORT time at the top!!!)
The playground
It's not so bad having your cousins to play with every day!
The Bell Tower (Cathedral)
Zoe took this picture of us on top of the Bell Tower- Easter Sunday
Views from the Bell Tower
Glad we were there at 1pm and not 12 noon. The bell chimes on the hour.

Hi there,
We put some of your photos on our blog so we could catch up with your happenings.
Today is ANZAC Day so got up before dawn for the parade.
It is great to see you by the aquarium building that you talked about in your discussion with the kids before you left.
