Running of the Bulls 2006 Pamplona, Spain
Hello - if you are looking to go to Edinburgh for Hogmanany you better be quick as we are down to our last 10 rooms of so at the Ibis Hotel
If after a big hectic weekend (some of us in the office were out clubbing [and I don't mean seals]in London from 11 PM Friday until 6 AM Saturday and still managed to make to the pub for Saturday lunchtime drinks) some of you out there might be feeling a touch run down, tired, bored of the grey sky etc - only one thing for it - looking forward to next summer!
We are just getting ready to release all of our packages for Running of the Bulls 2006 in Pamplona, Spain - thats right all the sun and sangeria (or San Miguel if you prefer) mixed with insane days of non-stop parties, traditional sporting contests and a seemingly endless celebration of local music and culture. Not to mention the Running of the Bulls itself - Jack Osborne managed it last year - are you up for it?
This year promises to be the best yet and we will be offering more options then ever - we've got 5, 6, 8 and day coach/camping package all departing from and returning to London - we've also got one way specials for those of you who wish to wander around Europe for a it afterwards. Already going to be in Europe and want to party with best the crew in town - no problem we also do accommodation only packages. Less time but got a bit of extra cash? Can't face the coach journey? We will also have both flight/camping tours and flight/hotel tours available.
All details will be on the website towards the end of the week - you can see last years details by clicking here - I'll post the new link to 2006 Pamplona tours as soon as the page is ready for public viewing (who knew that this web site building could be such a messy business). The most popular tour's itinerary is at the bottom of this blog.
No matter how bad your week is most of you can probably look forward to the weekend - not me unfortunately - it's the other half's annual Christmas Party - as she works for one these big huge monster corporations - it's a dinner suit, posh hotel, nice meal etc type of thing which doesn't really fit in too well with our lifestyle so spare me thought when you are in your favourite pub on Saturday night. I'll leave you with a link to an online game I recently found to do with pubs.
