So if one of us can stay sober it is possible to watch the tree climb in both port and town ?

Or cab but after the trouble getting a cab after the moors and Christians I am a bit wary

Or you could do what we did last year CD and watch it on TV while having dinner in Manduca . To be honest you would be hard pressed to get near the tree climb in the Town, it is done in a narrow street.........sardines have more space in a tin.

We too watched it on TV..it must be a nightmare to be jammed in those narrow streets especially having watched the problems they had at one point getting it round a corner ��
