SItges - Party Time

This is a glorious holiday. We had so much fun last night; we ended up in a small restaurant called The Beach House where the waiters were friendly (and cute) and the food a wonderful Spanish-Oriental fusion. We drank cava again, because it was cheap, although Brett, John & Rich subsequently downed a couple of bottles of Rioja too.

After the restaurant we visited a few more bars, having a drink in each before finally ending up in El Piano. There was no singer there tonight, they were just playing the songs and video clips that they previously had on between his sets. We put in a special request for a video they had played the previous night; a very cleverly done montage of various musical numbers, all over-dubbed by the song I Just Wanna Dance from Jerry Springer the Opera – which regular readers will recall was a big hit in the Chorus’ summer show, You’ll Do For Now. We sang along with gusto.

By the time Brett and I staggered along the beach to the hotel (leaving John, Rich & Jeremy still singing along to the videos) it was gone 2am.

This morning, despite my optimistic setting of the alarm for 8am, we slept until ten and then rolled down to a late and sluggish breakfast. Neither of us was hungover, but then neither of us was full of life either. We decided to pass on visiting Montserrat today and instead do an afternoon and evening in Barcelona, doing the sights that John and Rich have already visited. In theory we’ll get a car and go up to Montserrat tomorrow, have another day by the pool/on the beach on Thursday and then visit Barcelona again with John and Rich on Friday.

Right, off we go!
