SCENE OF CRIME VALENCIA

On 5 November we landed in Valencia, Spain and took the public bus to the city.
Whilst waiting for our long distance bus south we relaxed near the bus station.



We were obviously being observed  by a group of 4 young men, especially as we made a few photos under a tree with the recently purchased tablet.
4 pieces of baggage were close to us.
When we came to leave for the bus the one containing tablet and pc were gone, and so were the men.
It was reported to the police in Garrucha who warned us especially to avoid Barcelona as there is political unrest and where tourists are often targeted for theft, also Sevilla where many pickpockets operate.
The loss of our main communication devices has caused no end of problems since and we still don't know if the travel insurance will honour the claim. It must be made online which is difficult without pc and they want the purchase invoices for the stolen items.
Life goes on but this blog was put to the back burner. I write today from another new tablet.
