12-31-07: Day 4: Madrid Newyear

[Dirk_Ermen]

Day 4 of my daily tr.

Nothing special actually happened today. Only in the morning we bought together a new camera. And i absolutely love it. It has loads of options which all my old cameras together never had! [:D][pshades]

So on to the evening.
When we came back to drop some stuff off in our room. We found this:


A small bottle of champaign, 2 glasses, some cookies and stuff and 2 packs of each 12 grapes (apparently it's the tradition here to eat 1 grape at every clockbeat when it hits midnight).

After finding all that, we went back into Madrid to the plaza mayor. There was a big market now where they all sold carnival wigs, clothes and masks, lol!

Loads of stalls, some already closed.


Group of weirdo's who all bought a wig...

Well, after a niec walk around Madrid. We went to the room and waited untill newyear started. Few minutes before it started, everything setting up for the firework [:)] It was damn crowded on the plaza de sol! The firework pictures:














And after the fireworkdisplay was over, everyone cheering, calling and stuff. And then... Everybody left the plaza again in humongous groups!


Holy shiz!


Yes, alot of people!


Feliz 2008!


The trash all foo's left behind.

The best thing about Spain so far is that they clean it up right away! The streets are now about 2 hours later totally clean again! awesomeness!

Well, see ya tommorrow again [:D]
