Day 16: Three Kings of the Epiphany

 Another glorious day of sunshine began when we walked over to the Dockside to watch the arrival of the Kings by boat. This is a celebration of Epiphany and it is when all the kids get their gifts.




A stage had been set up to entertain the huge crowd patiently waiting. A flotilla of boats then made their way up the dock, blasting their horns and spraying huge jets of water.

We the made our way down to the old town where it was extremely busy with families enjoying the special day.

There were numerous street entertainers  and we thought that the pick of them was a guy with a superb tenor voice, that was spine tingling. 


After a bite to eat we watched the carnival parade along the streets where numerous floats and hundreds of dancers entertained the thousands of people watching.


The whole experience was a mass of colour, noise and happy faces.
