the night before is full of street parades, great floats are made, and loud parties. The next day is completely quiet, no lights, no music and you're not allowed out of your hotel and onto the streets. It was good to be there and witness it but personally i wouldnt do it again, a lot of the shops are closed for few days and a lot of the market holders go down the beach for a full on market down there. Best part i remember was walking the full length of Poppys2 and getting asked once 'you buy, one more' as the whole lane was empty, shops and market stalls all vacant and the wild party they throw the night before.
