Running with Bulls - Pamplona Spain

Epic, unreal, can't believe they still do this. Cannot believe how much fun this was. So wish I was back in that arena dodging bulls.



The bull run was ok. There was a panic as the bulls came and i dramatically fell over as the bulls passed us. By the time i got up they were long gone. We chased after the bulls to get into the arena... and then the fun began. One at a time they release 5 baby bulls into the arena who chase all the idiots (including my good self) who remain in the arena. Corks are attached to the horns to stop gouging but the baby bulls love to hit and flip. A few guys even got stuck on the horns and carried. I got a bit too close twice myself and the 2nd time i had to grab his horn cause he'd hooked under my jumper.



Made a lot of friends this trip and will put this day down as one of the best of the year, gotta be in my top 3. Next time I go I might try to see a bit of Spain while im there :oP

Congrats to my little bro Matt who has found a girl that has the the unfortunate affliction of being attracted to him. Hope she likes Harry Potter :o)
