Hey people. Not often I post on here, but always looking on here at the reviews and meet's for when I'm in Ibiza, this year for a change I've remembered pretty much everything for the week I was there and actually some things worth sharing with you guys rather than the same old too drunk to remember ( don't get me wrong I've done my fair share ) .... so here goes... i'll try get all of this done in the next 2 days before im back at work....and I apologise for rambling on....I never know when to stop....
Now i'm no stranger to going to Ibiza solo and hitting the bars and clubs, making friends and having some of the best times of my life , the original plan was two weeks away from the hellhole that is blackpool , cheap hotel & flights and forget about life in the real world. Things soon change though...an old flame should we say got back in touch with me after a year or so, suggested we go out together and have a nice chilled holiday. At first thinking things would be awkward I thought why not....I had nothing to lose.
So we said before hand we'd go round the island this year, sightseeing, hire a car for 2 days and not step foot near the west end, all of this I agreed with as every year I go I say to myself i'll do all this and never do, bearing in mind this was my 10th time to Ibiza and HM's 9 or 10th also so this would be a good change for both of us!
Sunday 9th June
So an early morning flight for us both, im flying from Manchester and HM from London and land within half an hour of each other so not bad at all, after hanging around in the airport for a fair few hours I finally get through security and to the bar, now if anyones flown from terminal 3 in Manchester you'll know what I mean when I say this but wow...I've never seen anything like it, the tiniest whsmith, a restaurant and a decent sized bar, that was it!! Anyway a few beers at 4-5am in the morning why not i'm in holiday mode and eager to get on the plane with all these like minded people, the buzz and excitement always takes over me at this point. While on the plane as I was flying solo I got talkin to a group of guys sat behind me tellin me their plans for the week and I've got to say I was jealous but had to remember this was a chilled holiday!!
So I land in Ibiza straight through passport control and wait for HM to arrive, as the double doors keep opening and shutting with arrivals coming through, I keep trying to see if HM is in sight...then I see her, weird feelings to see her again but was happy, we'd been to Ibiza together 2-3 times before and always had a blast, we jump in a cab to the hotel. As we arrive and check in ( hostel anibal ) for the price we paid £120 for 6 nights...nice clean place but no lift! Now I know girls take everything but the kitchen sink, but Christ the amount HM had put in her suitcase it weighed a ton and 4 flights of stairs for me to carry it up!!
After re-aligning my spine we get changed and head down to the pool, a decent sized pool , music on and people are in a good mood. Already spotted a few workers that were laying round the pool for a bit of down time, few kopparbergs later and I'm shattered. We decide to catch a few z's , shower and head to sunset for some food!
While walking down we noticed the restaurant near the marina in San An, looks really nice from the outside and earmarked it for another night, although we never did go back which was a shame! So we end up at Mint which is next door to mambo, we get a table just inside but can still see the sunset, lack of should we say! The wind was horrendous that night and really very cold for a summer night in Ibiza, we both ordered pizzas and wow they are amazing, shame the heat had disappeared due to the wind after 2 bites but nevermind! We head back to the hotel after a few hours, its to cold and we both want an early night to see what tomorrow brings!
