Well, we got up at 6:30 AM, and were already on our way towards the bull running street by 7:15 AM.
After reaching there, got a nice spot to watch the run and take pictures of the bull run, although had to spend some time looking for it, and had to struggle with too many people around. Most of them had been partying all night and looked like were at the venue for a long time, to secure better view.
The actual run was around 900 meters, which got over in a little less than 4 minutes time. We were amazed by the fact that this 4 minutes run by itself drives a party which goes on round the clock, and seven such days of run support the economy of an entire town for the whole year !!
Well, I know what you are thinking. It was never on my agenda to run with the bulls, mostly because of the sheer crowd that participates - it is a stampede and I didn't wish to be a part of it - I was just curious to see it :-)
Anyways, I have taken some nice pictures of the whole thing and will post them on my FB.
At around 11 AM, after having a good breakfast, we started back for Madrid. Reached at 3 PM, and then after resting until 8:30 PM or so, started reading the cases for tomorrow. It's going to be another long night, but considering all the fun we had at Pamplona, its worth it :-)
