Valencia, Spain - Nic and Dave arrive

 Nic and Dave arrived having made their flights and the taxi pick up with no problem. They did really well staying up and Nic even had a work meeting before going to bed.

The next day we walked to Port de Sagunto. Saw jellyfish on the beach.

 

Washed up and I assume dead. Makes me sad as I was fascinated by all the jellyfish at the aquarium. Carla asked Nic to bring one home - not going to happen!

 Jellyfish wash up on shore primarily because they are weak swimmers, making them helpless against strong onshore winds, tides, and ocean currents that push them out of deep water. These, often seasonal, mass strandings occur when large blooms (groups) of jellyfish are caught in unfavorable weather, leading to mass mortality, as they cannot survive long out of the water. from AI summary.

Beautiful purple colouring and
 

a black, scalloped fringe.

Surf fishing and

thinking about swimming. I am less inclined now I have seen the jellyfish.

Big and small, having a great time chasing in and out of the water.

Dredger was back at it

and there were some serious swimmers at Port de Segunto beach.

Nic and Dave bought some cooler weather but were still happy to eat and drink outside at a cafe.
