It as taken me until now to even pay a visit back to this website, never mind bring myself to write a review about it, probably because I do not want to consign Ibiza 2012 to the past!
I will warn that this is not my, or I'm sure many others, idea of the ultimate Ibiza experience - as it involves certain elements of a "lads" holiday - and involves quite worrying amounts of obviously "legal" drug use.
Here goes....
Wednesday 25th July
We had a very early morning flight out of Glasgow, and had to be at the airport around 3am. Just to set a scene that will become familiar throughout this review, by the time we reached the airport, 2 of my mates were already hammered, I will refer to these two at L1 and L2 (L standing for lunatic). Anyway, after a surprisingly stress free check-in, stopped getting served in the pub - L1's fault - and successfully hiding a bottle of Vodka and Jagermeister for the flight, we finally boarded the plane. Now this being an early flight I expected a modicum of calmness, how wrong I was. Imagine the scene of a crowd at an illegal boxing match? Well that was the scene on the Glasgow to Ibiza flight that day. We landed just in time for one rocket - Glasgow language for absolute mentalist - to start a fight with another rocket in the passport inspection queue. The holiday had clearly started well . Anyway, after the carnage we found a relatively sane bus full of people and were in due course dumped at San Antonio bus station to walk to our hotel. We were staying in Hotel Pacific (just up from the egg) in two rooms off 3. Paid the usual deposit incase somebody wrecked the room in a drug-fuelled frenzy, then headed into what must have been the two most miserbale hotel rooms in Ibiza, OK maybe a slight exaggeration, but still just awful! This is not Trip Advisor so I will spare you the details, let's just say, at least we had a bed each! After un-packing to the tune of me pleading with the other 5 to go to Be @ Space that night, we headed on our first and most important task. That task was to find some, let's call them "mood enhancers". Operation "find a dodgy looking Scouser" complete we headed down the West End for a few pints and bets on the horses. As I touched on at the beginning, I found myself in the god forsaken West End far to often during this holiday, so I just had to make the most off it! Anyway, during the course of that afternoon, I won 250 euros on the horses (I don't even bet!!) and proceeded to buy all the drinks. By 6 O'clock there were already a few casualties, L1 & L2 were performing quite unbelievable acts of gum-chewing, S1 (S since he done nothing but sleep) was predicatably sleeping, that left only 3 of us to get ready for our first night. I had high hopes for that night, I envisaged entering Space to sample the sounds of Fedde Le Grand & Mark Knight, instead I predicably found myself in the Highlander, yes the f*cking Highlander! I consistently told myself to make the most of it, and managed admirably. The hours dragged, the drinks went down far too easily and group after group of female movedon after seeing the state we were in. But, by 3am I was the last man standing, largely due to the "mood enhancers" I had sourced (I really do wish I could go into more detail about the experience on these things), and had befriended 2 girls who stayed relatively close to me in Scotland. I spent the next 3 hours with them moving from one jam-packed sweatbox to the next, by the time we headed back to the hotel, (coincidently they were in the same hotel as us), I had all but ruined any chance I had of "getting lucky" that night. It turns out grinding your teeth and having eyes like a shark can be quite a turn off for the opposite sex, who knew? I vaguely remeber spending the next 3 hours on their balcony drinking what can only be described as pure petrol, and literally falling all the way down the stairs to my room. It must have been 9am, and by this stage let's just say the hallucinations were getting interesting.
I remember lying in bed cursing the night I had, but at the same time knowing that I would have to get used this! Anyway it was Cream Thursday next!!!!
More later (I promise my nights were not always as bad as the first!).........
