Here is my brief review of a good and typically up and down 7 days in Ibiza

This was always going to be a different type of holiday to my normal ibiza getaway, but i think change can only be good, right? :eek:

I usually have the plan of the nights I fancy down to a tee, prefer to stay in playa den bossa and usually go with just guys rather than our respective girlfriends. - this time i would have to be a bit more flexible

Mon 9th

Raining again in England! we decide to fly to Ibiza to gatecrash a friends holiday!

Tues 10th

Girlfriend and I fly into IBZ, check in to GRAN SOL in SA! ( great hotel, Trip advisor reviews say it all)
We have dinner down at Kasbah, enjoy a few drinks and watch the sunset. nice and chilled first day.

Wed 11th

The other two couples arrive today and as soon as we hook up at 12, myself and the two lads are finding it hard to stay out the boozer. what do do? go in the sea, bat and ball on the beach, kick a football, read a bit of the paper.. 12. 45 Time for a pint ! San an beach isnt the nicest to be fair. So we spent the afternoon in Itaca catching up and putting the world to rights. At this moment im coming round to San antonio, maybe i had it wrong all these years! mmm

Sunset on the rocks outside savannah, kicked off the benches boo!!, no problem drinking alcohol on the rocks This is when the party starts, Bump into someone selling ballons. 3 for €10, great little earner for him and a bit of a buzz for us, he also has a vast array of other supplies and were sorted for the week

Before i know its midnight and for some reason the plan is to hit the west end, at this point i must add the 5 other people i am away with are not really into the club/music scene totally, but at the average age of 30 the west end is not going down to well..By this time i am fully feeling the effect of the above mentioned supplies.."**** am i getting older or are drugs getting stronger" im going with the latter..however much of a great deal €10.00 is for 6 jugs of spirits , having all tht booze on table in front of me was not what i fancied! I grabbed the misses and we headed down to PORNOGRAPHIC, free entry and a free drink before 2AM, Music was good, plenty of techno and the crowd seemed to be enjoying it! The other parties join us and it all gets a bit hazy here on in. A good dance was had by all and we left the club with a little reminder/first insight into what its all about!

**** ive waffled on, was trying to codense the holiday into a few paragraphs

more to follow:D
 
THU 12th

ooouch...sore head is the order of the day. we go to the new ocean beach club, grab some drinks (€5.00 a pint-could be worse)...brandon bloc is there doing a book signing(HA)...and spins a few tunes. Its pretty quiet BUT i quite like it!

We stay there and then head to Kemuhras for the sunset and a nice meal.
Great vibe, really nice curries and good conversations followed up with some sangria. lovely stuff

FRI 13th

Up at 8AM to pick up our rental car (Well more like a bus) not sure how I got lumbered with sorting this. its quite painless but navigating san antonios tight streets with the juggernaught is proving tricky with a killer hangover. I pull through, eveyrone is collected and were on the road to ibiza town. Stroll round the harbour, have some breakfast and the girls do some shopping. All throughout the day i am feelong worse and worse, the three coffees at breakfast are not helping to much either...!! I hand over the reigns to my mate and we road trip to Salines, few hours on the beach....cala jondal to check blue marlin, cala d'hort to check es vedre and then up to santa eularia for some sea food.. A great day for everyone! My hangover disappers about 10pm...Me and my girlfriend retire for an early night while the other crack on with the drinking!

Sat 14th

Best feeling in the world waking up fresh and raring to go in ibiza. We wake up the other couples, who are hanging and must hate us for being fresh, ZOO project today, never been before so was looking forward to an out door party!
Girls get painted and we get in there for 5..we all get on it again and getting messy so early in the sun is a tottaly different vibe. but a good one. Monkia Kruz was the highlight musically and had the seal pit rocking from 2200 - 0000. Really like it in there. good vibes and a change from the superclub experience!

Left there and then let myself get persuaded to go to one of the worst club night on the island (All in my opinion). - Hed Kandi

The less said the better

To quiet
Wierd crowd - half the people in there were just standing around.
music was naff(for me anyway).

They played Man with the red face and i knew that it wasnt gonna get any better than that, so though id leave on a sort of high!

It's even worse when the West End is in full flight - nerves of steel and a very slow kerb-crawl is the only way ;):lol:

Sunday 15th

So after leaving es paradis relatively early I was up and feeling fresh ready for the day ahead...Had I really been here for 5 days and the only clubs i'd visited been Eden and Es paradis?? Jesus...thats sounds shocking! Anyway it was Sunday, time to make amends, and we all agreed Space was the place to go, we ummed and erred about going to Usuhaia but after much deliberating and money counting decided against it!

With "we love" changing its opening hours on a yearly basis it seems and now having to go up against Usuhaia I had no idea when a good time would be to get in? We plumped for 2300hrs! plenty of time to get amongst it, explore around and chat away on the roof

0100 - still in Itaca in San Antonio, going away with 6 people, 3 of them woman :) is a killer for any sort of logistics!
we finally get in to space st 0200 - huge cue of people waiting for taxi's outside and zero cue to get in. nothing like arriving late. Sunset terrace is obviously quiet, playing some quite nice reggae, terraza is about a 1/2 full and not a lot is kicking off! **** - had everyone gone home already?? Pull back the doors of the discotech, BOOM! Hit by a wall of techno and energy! everyone is off it and the rooms in full swing!!. We get ourselfs a decent spot and the next few hours sail by like a dream.. smiling faces, backslaps, crazy dancing and good laughs - exactly what was required. claud von stroke comes on and picks it up a notch again. really banging in there! we all start to level out and spend time between smoking , chatting on the roof and doing a bit of two step back in the discotech.. we leave around 6 and its really dead at this time... Im sure "we love" used to be busier! An awesome time was had by all and we arrived back to san antonio still awake enough to polish of a few beers!

Mon 16th

My heart wanted to do the DC10/coccon double header but my head (I.E my girlfriend) and my wallet (I.E skint) said no!! gutted!! We spend the day recovering and then finish the holiday off with an excellent curry at the curry club. Really tasty. Obviously after the obligatory last sunset! (why are they always the most beautiful)

Tue 17th

Wake up, fly home, get rained on in England and get depression!

Overall a nice getaway with friends, we had some nice meals, funny parties and everyone had a wicked time, San An was fine just stay way from the places you dont like. Would like to have gone to warriors at sankeys and ritchie hawtins night at space BUT there will always be next year!---- in fact im sure i can scratch together some funds for October8)8)

it's always when you go without your "head" that caution gets thrown to the wind and the credit card comes out :lol:

I think I must be mellowing from my years of trance and deep house, cause I really like the Hed Kandi night at Es Paradis. It's the live instruments that do it for me, kind of reminds me of a tame Manumission from back in the day. Will be at this years closing for sure.

Maybe " The worst night on the island" was a bit OTT The live Sax was nice just didnt really get the crowd and the volume. maybe im getting more stuck in my ways the older i get :)

I've never been either...

By messy I assume everyone is a bit out to space on some sort of narcotic (fine by me to start early as a early night might help fit more into my schedule).

Other than that, body paint & bikini for girls, shorts and sandals for guys?

What type of music?
