La Tomatina!

After our last breakfast sitting next to all the people at summer camp we said goodbye to our newly acquired 12 year old friends (friends being a very lose term) we started on our train towards Valencia .

We arrived at the campsite and as we were being escorted to our tent we were rampaged by Amy, Orr and Miz. So much running squealing and jumping. We frightened the guy who was taking us to our tent pretty nicely.

We got settled in and talked and went to the beach right by the campsite.

Caitie then arrived at 3am after missing her first flight.

The next morning we were woken up by sun rays and intense heat and had a very  nutritious  breakfast of sugary muffin things and cocopops J

We then headed to the beach and had a chillaxed day altogether

That night we headed to the city centre and went for dinner and had tapas, Paiella and other tasty Spanish food

Usdgfsjdgkasfg We woke up at 6am ready to get out clothes ripped off and throw tomatoes at each other?

We pushed through to the front where we watched this strange tradition where there is a ham on the top of a pole and the pole is covered in butter and the ham needs to be cut down before the tomato festival can start it was pretty crazy and it when on for about an hour but it was really entertaining and this guy everyone names monkey boy ended up cutting the ham down.

You could then start to see huge trucks coming down the street and we where pushed to the side at one point i think i was moving without my feet touching the ground. The tomatoes started to be thrown and then  all of then where streamed out the back on the truck and we where covered in tomato almost up to our thigh this is sadly when i dropped my disposable camera so we don’t actually have any photos from the day. IT was so AMAZINGG

After spending the next hour or so tring to get endless amount of tomato gunk out of our hair we got ready to go to town and have our last night with Caitie before she left us to travel with parents. We went to a bar with amazing music so we danced like complete spastics and when bohemian rhapsody came on shit went down.   

We then went to a couple more bars and walked to the town which is really beautiful.

We woke up at 9am, with two hours before we needed to check out to clean up. 3 hours later we were the last to leave the campsite, after looting all the abandoned stuff people left behind, including a towel, several cans of lemonade, a bag of cookies and shiny white knee high boots.

We left for the station after packing our stuff up which had spread across the campsite and sadly had to say goodbye to Caitie.
