Warner Bro's, Hard Rock, Boguis, Casa de Las Cervezas, Joy...

So last weekend was spent at el Parque Warner, aka the Warner Bro's theme park! We got there in the afternoon and were basically the only people there which was great as it meant no queues. We went on everything a billion times until our heads were spinning and we felt like throwing up (how lovely!). Superman had to be the favourite ride, an inverted rollercoaster where we got to sit in the front row! La Venganza Del Enemigo was also AWESOME... You get taken to the top of this giant tower ...

...And then dropped like a kazillion feet! Thrills and spills people, thrills and spills!!!!!! :)



Saturday night was spent at Hard Rock Cafe, you can't beat the Hard Rock!


It was also the first ever Noche en Blanca celebrated in Madrid, meaning that the city decided that everyone needs to be far more cultured and so there were free shows and museums were open 24hrs... Unfortunately enforced culture meant that queuing became ridiculous so me and the Fab man ended up meeting some new friends and hitting a few swanky bars...



On Tuesday night we stumbled into a lovely little jazz bar called Boguis in Chueca. Boguis is an intimate little spot where we watched the jazz men do their live-jamming thing!


Us & the East-Coasters at Boguis:


Now i know we should really be soaking up the culture, eating tapas and doing the spanish do but hey, we're here for a whole year and there's plenty of time for all that so we're taking it step by step people.


Wednesday night: La Casa de las cervezas & Joy with our Californian friends...


Clubbing at JOY certainly wasn't joyful..! It's the second time i've been there and i HATE it!!!!! Mental note-I WILL NEVER GO TO JOY EVER AGAIN no matter how much everyone tries to persuade me and goes on about how fun and amazing it will be cos we get in free... It's a shame because the club itself is AMAZING. Stunning modern decor with the coolest paintings, just a shame the music is NOTHING to write home about AT ALL!!!!


Tonight's Eric's Bday (American guy in pic above), so it's gonna be a big one at Kapital... x x x

OMG! I'm so jealous of all the fun without me! I miss you all so much!

Why did you post the Hard Rock photo where I have my eyes closed? I look like a freak!
