Tuesday 24th June
So after weeks and weeks of excitement I woke up to a sunny Tuesday ready to make the trip to Ibiza! There was only two of us going this year, the least amount of people I have ever travelled with, not that this was a problem, if anything it was easier as there was less people to have to please with club nights etc.
So I met up with W and we headed for Nandos in the knowledge that we wouldn’t be eating much for the rest of the day. This was finished then we popped to see another friend who was supposed to be coming, but couldn’t due to money problems, and we were off for East Midlands airport. Got there and realised we had totally forgot about the French air control strikes, so with a bit of worry we head through to the departure lounge to see our flight was one of the only flights not delayed / cancelled… RESULT! So after purchasing some food and a few fags breaks we were all ready to fly and as our boarding gate was opened we virtually ran to the gate and we were the first in queue! We boarded the plane and were ready for take-off when the pilot announced we would be delayed for 45 minutes, then after 45 minutes we were told we would have to wait another two hours, and we went allowed off the plane! We finally took off at 8:15 pm, our flight was scheduled for 5:35 pm so quite a wait!
Finally landed around 11:30 and headed straight for the hire car company, got to the desk and was about to get my email confirmation out my bag when the person waiting said “stop, don’t worry you are Jack, I know you now” ha suppose this starts to happen when you’re on your 18th visit! Got into the beast of a hire car that was a savage fiat panda and headed for my usual accommodation of Hostel Torres. As usual we arrived and it was a simple and easy check in and up we went to the room. This is the only year I’ve actually requested a room with a balcony, it is also the only year I haven’t had one! Great.
So we threw down our bags, changed into shorts as the heat was incredible even that late and headed to my usual drinking hole that is Entice. Ordered a massive jug of cocktails each and then as we went to sit down I recognized a Jager shot girl from last year. Walked over and said hello and she recognized me as well, had a good chat and a good few shots and then remembered my mate last year virtually fell in love with the shot girl. This is when W decided to Snapchat a picture of him and her to my mate back in England, the snaps we got back were very amusing! Finished the jugs and decided another was in order, especially with the stress of the flight! We were told by an air hostess that if the delay would have been 3 hours they would have cancelled our flight that night! Not good when we only went for four days!
It was two by the time we finished the second jugs and by now it was safe to say we were a little tipsy! So off to the bus station for a disco bus to Amnesia for Together
short wait for the bus and then we were off, must have been 2:30am by now. Got speaking to some randoms on the bus and ended spending the whole night with them! The one had a hilarious tattoo that said “little miss c**ty” haha!!
As we arrived
We got to amnesia with our tickets from off here and we were in within seconds, no hassle as always! Went straight to the bar and ordered two double vodka red bulls only to find they had gone up to 23 euro this year! No wonder the bar was empty all night! We had a quick look at the set times and noticed the head liners Chase and Status weren’t playing! My mate was gutted!
The next few hours were a blur, I remember spending most the time in the terrace or in the smoking area outside. We met loads of different people and even ended up speaking to someone who was playing at Sankey’s the next day and then a warehouse project in our small town of Worcester the day we got back! He gave us his number and said we could have free tickets for the warehouse party, shame we never made it!
The place starting emptying around six, Hannah wants absolutely smashed it and so did eats everything. I think chase and status not being there meant the place got a lot quieter a lot quicker than usual, at 6am there was me, W and little miss C in the terrace virtually on our own! The main room was brilliant however and when it all ended about 7:00am the room was still fairly busy.
I remember at the end of the night saying come on W we need to leave, and him turning round and shouting not yet, as he did so the music stopped and I looked at him and he realised I wasn’t saying it for any other reason than the night was over!
Got a taxi back easily, grabbed some water and some fags and then went back to the hotel and got wonky till 10am! My mate sent some interesting Snapchat’s to people back home! As you can probably guess my friend is lost without his phone!
A quick note, we got dropped off by the egg and walked to our hotel, on the way a bloke offered us some “stuff” and we politely refused, after this he started to dance putting his leg over my mate etc. A pick picket trick if you haven’t seen it before, so if any random people like that start talking to you just put your hands in your pockets because as soon as he realised we knew what was going on he soon walked off.
