I spent a final half-hour in the hot tub with John and Rich which was wonderfully relaxing. A couple of times I almost drifted off to sleep with the sound of the bubbling and the sunlight flashing on the water; very therapeutic.
I have enjoyed the week in Sitges and could probably have easily spent a second week here – although I might have done a bit more exploring out of town in a second week. John, Rich and Jeremy have been great holiday companions with no great pressure on anyone to do anything. I think I can appear to be quite anti-social when I am in full-on relaxing mode; just staring off into space and not feeling the need to make conversation, but no-one seems to have minded and I haven’t felt any awkward silences developing.
Sitges itself is lovely; it is a very friendly, relaxed town. I was a little bit nervous about coming to a renowned ‘gay resort’ thinking it would be lots of teenage twinks, flamboyant queens and bars playing S-Club Seven and having Barbara Streisand and Shirley Bassey Karaoke nights. In fact the town just gets on with it. It isn’t bedecked with Pride flags (in fact I think I’ve seen more bear flags than pride flags around town!) it’s just a regular holiday resort where there are lots of gay-friendly establishments. In fact it feels more comfortable walking along the prom here, holding Brett’s hand than it does back in
Rich was chatting to another couple by the pool this afternoon and discovered that there is more to the fiesta going on this evening between 7:30 and 8:30, so we are going to head into town early to see what there is to see and then meet the guys for dinner afterwards.
