Got some severe Ibiza blues now im back so writing a few words about it should hopefully help.
We stayed in 2 different places over the 2 weeks. The first was Villa Can Furnet which is through Spotlight and the 2nd was a 3 bed apartment in Cala Tarida through ownersdirect.
Thur 1st: flew out from london City airport which is small , overpriced but quite fast and efficient. N-Dubz were there and after trying to get a sly photo of Dappy he immediately saw me and ushered me over to get my photo with him which was pretty funny. They went on our flight but a young dj by the name of Bushwaka! was. Had to get a hire car when we arrived so resisted the urge to drink on the plane. Car hire was done through a cheap website which ended up being Auriga Crown which it seems was the same for everyone as the queue was pretty big. Got a more or less brand new pergeuot 205 which was to be our chariot for the next 2 weeks.
Met the owners of the villa on the 803 highway between eivissa and san jose and drove to the house a minute up the road. Was really impressed with it. very simple but the pool was bigger than expected , lovely views of the hills and no neighbours right on our doorstep.
Made a quick trip to Eroski supermarket for mega cheap supplies then the others started arriving. by 1am and many many beers/sangria's/dive bombs into the pool everyone was there and fully in the spirit of it. So much so we decided to go to Sankeys for Barem and Tobi Neuman at Monza! Had never been to Sankeys and was pleasantly surprised. Felt bait dirtier (in a good way) than the other clubs and the roof terrace was a touch . Got back with the sun up and jumped straight into the pool to crack on….
Fri 2nd :
After some sleep went to figurettas to pick up some friends and brought them over to ours for bbq / pool party although half of them were really hungover and slept half the afternoon! As we'd been drinking all day i couldn't give them a lift home and apparently it took them 45mins to get a cab which would be a re occurring theme through out the week unfortunately.
We cracked on then went to dc10 for pandemonium which was awesome , not sure who we saw but didn't look like tania.
Sat 3rd:
got home about 8am and the heavens opened and shat it down for 10mins but then blazing sunshine for rest of the day. We spent the day getting pretty trashed by the pool and acting like kids. Most of us had mellowed out by the evening so went for a midnight Tapas at Home Loos in Figurettas which didn't disappoint. Crashed out when we got back home.
Sun 4th:
WLS day. although i wasn't too bothered about going it was our friends first time on the island and he is Steve Lawlers biggest fan so off we went! did the usual bbq / pool shenanigans and got down to pdb for about 10 as a couple of us were on a guest list that closed at 12. This was our first time in pdb of the holiday and it seemed pretty hectic , there was a guy rolling around on the floor by space who looked like he needed medical attention! Music in the discoteca wasn't doing it for us so it was the Terrace for the whole night. Lawler played an absolute blinder constantly building it up but no big breakdowns or anything. Laurent Garnier was on after and he was brilliant just not quite as good as previous times we'd seen him. we went doing any naughties so it ended up being quite an expensive night at the bar! Think we left about 5ish as wanted to be in as good a shape as possible for monday
Mon 5th:
This was the day we'd planned to party! bbq was on early as were the tunes. we had aimed to get there around 5 and failed miserably! we met our friends at the Mira Mola in figgerettas who were in various states of disarray. Got a few pints at their bar and generally got laughed at by the italian mafia type lads who seemed to own the pool area there . Got tickets in pdb and think we were in the club by 8pm. Didn't see a set list but whoever was playing inside around 10pm - 1am was sensational. best music i heard all holiday. we were going nuts although because we were against the side wall the undercover security guy seemed convinced we were selling drugs and wouldn't let us out of his sight. Outside was going off as usual but for me it was better inside this time. Last minute decision was to go to Amnesia for cocoon via our villa to get some cash. Unfortunately our description of where we lived ended up with a rather irate illegal taxi driver when we realised we were in the wrong place but was all fine in the end.
Paid full price on the door (60eu ouch!). Sven was his effortlessly cool self as always and i noticed it wasn't as busy as previous years , we had no trouble getting into the main room and finding a spot. There were a few dodgy characters in there though who seemed to be eyeing up handbags etc abit too much. didn't last too long which was annoying as soon as i was outside i kinda wished i hadn't left.
Tue 6th
We all got back at different times which meant a fair bit of waiting on the doorstep which when your in the middle of nowhere can be a little unnerving. One girl didn't get back till midday having got herself into all sorts of trouble in amnesia and again on her way home but she was ok in the end.
Had been in the pool in the sun all morning without suncream and by the afternoon was getting the onset of mild sunstroke and general fatigue. It got pretty bad was tripping out and everything. Must have drunk about 3 litters of water throughout the evening. The others went to Sissi's in pdb for a steak and brought me back a burger king which helped.
Wed 7th:
Spent the day at Salina's was scorchio!! Some of the hottest women ive ever seen too! Was a friends 30th birthday so went back to Sissi's for dinner as they said it was pretty good despite the rubbish service. Steak was excellent but garlic prawns were below par. A friend had the Ostritch steak which was an interesting flavour somewhere between fish and chicken but the texture of beef.They put a candle in his brownie and we sung happy birthday which was a nice touch then after a dew very strong drins at Murphy's we went to Underground.
Was quite excited about this as many peep plan to go but lots never make it. I didn't know what to expect. Wow what a great little venue! Lovely outside area with the music from inside being put through to the garden. free for girls and 15 for bloked but includes a drink. beers were 7 and long drinks 10 for the rest of the night. Wasn't that many people there but it didn't seem to matter one bit. No idea who the dh's were but they come a close 2nd for set of the holiday! relentless dc10 style house/techno that just seemed to go on forever. We left at 5 bait before it closed so we could get a taxi which turned into a saga as again our description of where we lived fell on deaf ears and the guy went the wrong way round the highway which doubled the journey time. Lesson learned , if in doubt take a map and show them it might save you a lot of money!
Thur 8th:
after a lie in and a final pool session we cleared up the villa and gave the keys back etc. went down to pdb for the 2nd time and sat on the wall outside Jet where our friends were staying. Have to confess we didn't go to bora bora once the whole holiday and didn't really miss it tbh. after bait we had to drop our friends off at the airport then begin stage 2 of our holiday...

.. do you mean Salinas ?
- and that's just thinking about it 
- tho' the waiting around on taxi drivers thing and friends wanting you to go to PDB rather than coming to you a bit of a disappointment ?
