Little after 7 pm i finally left from the town and arrived in Valencia after 10pm.
From the moment i got to the center i was welcomed by one local who gave me the city map for free.
After that i did a little walk around the city and went to sleep in a park.
Tuesday i tried to earn some money which turned out to be a disaster again. The police here is most of the time okey but its just the end of January and people are out of money. Which i actually expected to be. So for once I'm happy that i have my birthday in the winter.
In the evening one guy, who had just recently red my blog, came and invited me for a beer. He had been itching to go back packing but so far never had the guts to do the first step. So i answered all his questions, gave him some extra advice and motivated him. And now his sure that in the next summer his going to travel.
Later i went back to earn money which was still a disaster. So i figured that I'm going to make a new sign that is bilingual. And I was hoping that it will help me out a bit in the next day.
Then little time later one Argentinian saw me and asked if i have a place to sleep. So he offered me a room in his apartment. But before that he wanted to train for a juggling contest a little bit in the square. I gave it a try as well but it was just dropping balls for me.
Wednesday i tried to earn some money again but it was even worse than the day before. But because now the sign is also in Spanish the Spanish people game to talk with me as well (or more than usually). I even went for a coffee with one guy who didn't speak any English at all. After half an hour i did left with a headache because of all the thinking i made just to be able to speak and all the new words i learned in a very short perioud of time. But i was worth it.
In the evening the Argentinian came to juggle again in the square and we attracted some other people as well. So in one group we were speaking English, Spanish, Italian and french. It was nice relaxed evening. And i had a room in his place again.
Thursday i gave a try for earning money but the same story again - disaster.
In the evening two guys from the states saw my sign and came to talk with me. They are actually awesome guys. They are 20 and 22 years old and both are professional musicians. One makes music for movies and TV-series and the other one makes music for commercials. So we talked a bit about everything and then they offered me a place in their house in the center.
First i dropped off my bag and then we went out again. And we went to an open mic night at one club were one of them played music as well. After that we met with many people over there, went to one apartment for a small party and after that to their place.
Friday was a bit better day for me. We stayed at the flat somewhere around 4 pm. Then we went to some square were they were skate boarding. Later i went to earn some money. Which wasn't better than it was in the previous days. But then i joined forces with one street musician. While he played flute next to my bag, i was dancing with the music with a big smile on my face. And i had a hat in my hand so i approached pretty much every person and many of them gave money as well. I put smile on every single persons face which felt so good. We shared our income 50-50 and it was still way better than each of us had earned alone.
In the evening i went out with one of the guys from the States. We walked around, visited a bar and talked with some girls. After what we went back to the flat were we drank some more beers.
And today i hoping to have a very good day. After this I'm going to walk around in the city and try to find a hairdresser and get my hair cut. Then i have some free time and in the evening I'm going with the guys and with the german girls (the ones who i met in sagunto) to some bars around the university area. There i should be able to get a pint under two euros and with those prices i can start celebrating my birthday.
Before i arrived in Valencia i was absolutely sure that i wont leave from this city without my phone and without new shoes. But right now it looks like I'm leaving without my phone because I'm not going to stay here another 10 days just to wait for the shipment of my phone. When right now I'm not even earning enough money to make it even everyday. And its possible that i might have to leave even without new shoes.
But I'm going to take out some birthday presents from the ATM machine and have a good day. And then I'm leaving probably on Monday.
So far 2931 km.
