Well after the events of the last 6 months, I figure it’s about time I started blogging again, so this weekend my weekend is planned. Friday night will be the ‘usual’ drinks with friends, but Saturday I’ll be off to see the Karnival Tan-Nadur on the island of Gozo. This is a once a year event where a ‘spontaneous carnival’ happens after sunset and coincides each year with the main Maltese Carnival.
The event is well known for it’s outrageous costumes from ‘Alternative’ to ‘Cross-dressing’ and regularly features the grotesque and macarbre. It is being held on the 4th to the 8th of March (the five days preceding lent) but locals will tell you Saturday and Sunday are the days to go as the weekdays many are at work and therefore the events are small by comparion. In 2005 the carnival was crowned the world carnival capital due to it attracting the most carnival digitaries in the world all at the same time.
Needless to say apart from partying and enjoying myself, the camera will be coming with me and a whole load of spare batteries (and the chargers as they can charge in the car.) So watch this space for the photos next week! 😉
