Saturday was the actual Mardi Gras parade and it was flesh and fun aplenty. Off we went to the piazza to join a street party - the booze was flowing, the dance moves were sharp and the men were (mostly) unatainable, although we managed to track down the token 10 straight people at the party.

To try and convey the night through words alone is impossible - visal images are a must. We know, we know, the pics have been lacking, but Spain has an aversion to downloading, truly. The footage is pure gold and will be at your disposal asap.

We are pleased to announce we have made some more wonderful friends, Aussies of course. Jess and Nadia are our 2 new best friends, from Adelaide. As well as Tegan and Dusty, of course.

Heads were very sore on Sunday after Mardi Gras but we soldiered on. Checked out the markets and had a fabulous (and cheap) dinner - probably the first nice meal since leaving Oz! Chris/Handy also arrived from Sydney, so the posse is growing rapidly! He was a little alarmed by our Vegemite antics late last night, which we have roped all the girls right into! This episode has been christened, ´The Vegemite Wars´and yes, pics to follow.
