valencia is magic and i am here

Valencia is magic and i am here 

Just before the storm hits with thunder and downpour, at 6pm, I get into my airbnb for the night.

It took two tries and quite a lot of effort to get in the appartment, but an angel came to meet at the street level for the first try  took me in to her nr 22 house.. for wifi and a refreshing juice. 

Diva is her name from Mauritius, you could tell she was from the island, as she carried that island vibe; but she now lives in London and her son who just had twins 2 months ago, has her nr 22 apartment where she stays when she visits Valencia. 

Do you know M, I ask her in Spanish,when she turns the corner into the appratment enrence coming back home, and she answers I only speak English.. Great that is godo by me I answer and ask her: Do you have wifi on your phone, so I can connect with my hostess? after some fidgetting with the hotspot on her phone, we both agree to go up and use her house wifi. 

In the elevator we connect, she says not a lot of people are talkitive but i am, and i am so happy to meet you. And we hit it off right away.. 

She opens her door, lets me in, having warned me that she is packing to go back home to London tomorrow and the place is not in a good state. No worries I say.. i am jsut there for the wifi.. i have seen houses in disarray all my life while traveling so nothing scares me any more..

In her house we start talking about life in Spain, Ow the people are so loud and scream! Hahaha, why? never mind, dont let it sit in your mind.

Where do you live now, sh asks and i tell her that i left hte netherlands, originally from Suriname and i tell her about my new boyfriend in Alicante.. 

Hahaha Her face scrunches.. Ow god not a man! I see her thinking, and i spill my guts seemingly having waited for a mature woman to talk to.. He is sooooo annoying I say.. and we laugh it off. All the details come out, but we agree he came to let me grow.. 

You have no whatsapp, no i hate it.. i dont want it either.. we infect each other.. and i have a new girlfriend in my life.. 

After wifi, and no response from the airbnb hostess, which send my mind going into all kind of schemes.. she took my money, she is doing it on purpose... dadadaada, i just focus on feeling happy with my angel Diva and look forward to more.. 

We say goodbye as she has a party to prep for.. Let me know what happens through the email she says.. And i will.. 

So i drive my bike from Valenbisi back to an available spot by the beach, head for wifi at the Hielo and yes.. we have contact Houston/Mari... so i have the details, and walk back 20min. I ring the bell again at streetlevel, and the door is opened automatically, I go up and at the front of the house also a camera and an automatic lock which opens.. Abracadabra 

So there we are inside.. connect to wifi, get more isntructions, make some tea.. and unpack! 

Shit i have msised unpacking and cleaing out my bags of all the ruccus. 

And i sent Diva a message.. all is good and give her the full download.. 

She runs a helpcenter in London.. and is a giver just like me.. 

mama i am home..
