Day 2 Las Fallas.

Well it's 6.25 here, going back out at 7. I´t's only a hour infront of england, but oooohhhh im in the future, hahahaha. :)
Well last night we went out and I didnt end up staying out till late cause I was sosososos tired it was unreal.
I met 2 girls in the hotel called Amanda and Randy-lee. (yes, actually true, i found it bloody hilarious)So, I went out to the shop with them to buy some booze and then they tagged along with us when we went out for some tea and then had a look around..
It got to like midnight, bearing in mind the huge firework display they have here every night doesnt start till one but I wasd just too tired so I had to go back, so me and amanda headed back.
Literally outside the hotel theres a MASSIVE white tent where they have street parties every night.. thankfully its the same stuff thats in the charts in england, though till 5am this morning the music was so loud it was as if it was in the next room on a mega phone.

THEN. at fucking 7.30 the marching bands started and fireworks started.. ridiculous if you ask me though I plan to be that drunk tonight that I will sleep through anything.



So today.. finally got out of the hotel about 11.30 and decided it was too late for brekkie so we had a mc D's instead.. living in style! Then we had a walk around for a bit and found a mascleta. These are basically sound displays.. they arent meant to be pretty, they just make your ears feel like they´re about to bleed they are that loud haha. :) here´s a photo for help *points to the left*, thats one set up, all the fireworks are linked and it just goes crazy.




Then we trekked around for a bit and then went down to the riverbed for a drink.. Me and my mom wanted to have a look around the shops so we wandered off towards the hotel and stopped at a few.


I bought myself a couple of tops and a bracelet.. I think we´re going to find different markets tomorrow and have a better look around.

Its hard to explain what a ninot is... so here´s a few photos, bearing in mind that some are only around 6 foot tall, others are like... as tall as big ben. They´re so incredible. They burn them all on the last night and as soon as the festival is over they begin to make new ones. There's over 700 around valencia... that's alot of work!














These photos arent mine but im too lazy to upload mine till I get back off holiday.. though you get the idea.
I'm missing people lots already, I hate not being able to text or call or see people ):
Though having an amazing time so it's all good and I cant wait till I go to Poland on monday.
Anyway, Í'll update tomorrow, this was just for Ali and Lora to read, I miss you two lots and I'll speak to you soon. (: love you xxx

  2. Yes you can, we're already planning next year so get saving. You only need like 400/500 cause the flights are pretty cheap and we tend to stay in hostels. though more if you want lots of spening money :) miss you xxxx
