Sat 3rd March - Tonight was the Mardi Gras Festival Parade and is one of the biggest in the world. I got to Oxford street a hour before the start of the parade and there were already loads of people there. THe parade lasted for two hours which i did find a bit too long as all the big floats were near the start and it was also very humid. I saw Boy George as he was djing at the Mardi Gras Party later and Rupert Everett who was Chief Of Parade. It was good to see the costumes and floats and the energy of the parade. There were floats from the political parties which just seemed to be there to get their particular messges across and dont think is really part of the spirit of Mardi Gras. It was good to experience it and can tick it off in my rough guide book as it was on of the top 40 things to see in OZ.
