ADULTS' DAY

@ CARNIVAL ROUTE. TIME: 10.30AM

And so, somehow, we reach the climax of it all: Carnival Monday. Feel the underlying impending-earthquake rumble of bass from 100 sound systems, static and revolving around you. Hear the first notes start up as they gradually build up to a confusing crescendo from every direction. Smell the aroma of 10,000 jerked chickens grilling.

Taste the powerful kick of someone’s rum punch sliding down your throat. Watch the illegal wine in that bikini-and-beads band in front of you. All your senses are bringing you that unmistakable feeling that normal life, with its cares and distractions, has been suspended for a few heady hours, when just about anything could be possible.
