“Whoa” what a night to remember.
Colin and I watched the game at Bonansa restaurant with our friend Caroline and her young daughter Leila.
Everyone was dressed in red, the colours of the Spanish football team and they were all wearing our badges that I had designed.
When Andres Iniesta scored the only goal in extra time everyone in the restaurant jumped up and started celebrating.
There was fireworks been set off all over.
It was even worse when the final whistle went and Spain were the winners of the 2010 World Cup. The town of Cala Millor was a display of fireworks and car horns blowing.
After we left the restaurant we walked through the town and it was just crazy.
There was just one continuous line of traffic through the main street through to the town center and everyone was blowing their car horns and people were hanging out of cars with the Spanish flags been waved.
Many vans had fans sitting on the roof racks and there was several instant car washes as people had hose pipes out and washing down every car that passed.
Outside of Caferteria Can Cabra the the locals had moved a table, chairs and a large statue into the middle of the road and when a tour bus was approaching they moved the status in front of the bus. The driver left his bus and joined in the celebrations. It was just one night to remember.
As I sit and type this information ( 01.00am) I have my balcony door open and I can still hear the car horns and celebrations continuing.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup is definitely the buzz around Majorca these days.
