A Piece of Advice

A friend of mine recently went on a fairly spontaneous adventure, instead of spending another weekend in Puerto Banus, taking a trip to the Cadiz carnival sounded like a fun day out. It all sounded great, even the three hour bus journey. Since the carnival has a reputation for being the liveliest one in Spain - dating back to the 16th century - why not?

It was bound to be very busy so they left at around 8 o clock in the morning, surprisingly the bus journey wasn't actually as fun as anticipated. Nevertheless, it would be well worth the wait.

Just as they thought the display was fantastic, but it was the sleeping arrangements that spoilt
it. Waking up on the beach cold and soaking wet came as a nasty surprise, that is from the little sleep they managed to get.

The day was extremely exhausting and after drinking from early afternoon they were all dead on their feet by night. Setting off on an escapade didn't exactly live up to it's expectations.

If you are planning to venture out of Puerto Banus, make sure you have adequate 'travel arrangements'

I would suggest driving and booking a hotel/hostel as this means no relying on bus timetables!

Go with the flow

Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned. Sometimes, one turns into two which turns into 7.30 the following morning! These nights are always the best, when you plan a night out it never lives up to your expectations.

It's amazing that you can go to the same bar every week and still enjoy yourself, let alone meet new people. It's even more remarkable when you encounter new & interesting people in that same bar, and enjoy a stimulating conversation!

To our surprise, that is exactly what happened. A night of fun, full of worthy discussions and, sheep noises...
