2 weeks agoWednesday morning now. The wind has died, but news reports people died in Valencia from flash floods. Today it's just the bird park, but tomorrow we'll throw caution to the "wind" and head for the wetlands!
2 weeks agoShall I continue to read your blog ?
My computer screen is getting wet !
Valence is making the headline news here in France, hope you are in good shape ?
There you go !

2 weeks agoI would be very hesitant about biking out to the Albufera. We were there a few years ago and it was badly flooded out and a challenge to get around: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/iberia2019/in-valencia-day-1-la-albufera/. I can’t imagine that it’s not much worse now. I’d wait until you come back in the spring.
2 weeks agoWe are fine, although the wind was a bigger problem for us yesterday than rain or flooding. We are still hoping to look in the Albufera, but the weather will have to be the final decision maker.
2 weeks agoOddly the news stories seem to be worse than what we encountered. We are fine, and if we encounter too much water across the road we can always turn back and try to find a different way through. Swimming with a loaded bike is not our idea of fun.
2 weeks agoI just read about the terrible rainstorm there and in Andalusia too. Glad you made it into the city safe and hope you’re both ok.
2 weeks agoThanks Bill. It's good to have you on the Identification Team.
