Day 6: Figueres Theatre.
This is the Theatre Jardi in Figueres and today we played as parted of the Figueres Festival. The venue was so much better than the church that we did our first concert in, although this one was quite a bit bigger - and had less of an audience. We're never phased by low audience numbers, it's what we expect seeing as we never get much advertising. The notes were played better at this concert though - despite my violin deciding to throw a hissy-fit in the rehearsal. It's a temperamental little thing; for some reason this time, it wouldn't stay in tune and then decided that when I would tune it, it would start to rattle. I love it all the same though. Eventually I ended up putting the humidifier in it, which seemed to do the trick.
This morning we went to Aquabrava, a proper Spanish water park - no health and safety at all. It was generally really good fun, even though I sustained a few cuts and bruises from the slides. By far the best attraction though was Cobra, which we weren't prepared for when we were queuing up. We thought that it'd be a nice and leisurely slide; apparently not. All in all, I rate the Spanish water park very highly (after all, England can't exactly boast a good one), although I didn't think much of their wave machine. It was more of a fast tide than metre-high-waves. Still good fun though.
Although, the most exciting part of the day happened when two of my friends were messing around with some of the rubber rings. They managed to quite severely bump heads, giving both of them concussion (one more serious than the other). They were laughing it off at the time, so myself and a few others left them to go and queue up for something else, and by the time that we had returned, they'd been carted off to the medical room. At least they were laughing about it.
