Just back from another wild vacation to Ibiza and Formentera.
Clubbing
This year was far more crowded than 2013. Pacha was packed so tight that nobody could actually dance in the main room, and many people were refused entry because they had reached maximum capacity (get in early!). The main room in Amnesia was overcrowded but there was plenty of room to dance near the bar (nobody was buying any drinks). I was surprised to see many people smoking cigarettes in Amnesia. The Disco bus was packed every time. The price is now 3 euros. The inward journey was very noisy (everyone is over excited). The outward journey is much more relaxed (everyone is half asleep). I never spent too much time at the bars, except for Bora-Bora.
Weather
The weather was pretty insane this time. On Saturday 16th August it rained 'heavy' for the entire day, and I mean non-stop torrential rain. It caught everyone by surprise. There was also 2 cloudy days, so cloudy it was cold throughout the day, and the cloud was so thick there was no Sunset! Everyone in San Antonio was left upset by this. The Sun just vanished behind the heavy clouds about 3 hours before Sunset and that was it! Luckily the next day, the Sunset was fantastic, so that made up for it.
Formentera
Never go in mid-August. It was impossible to enjoy the island. The beaches were over crowded, so crowded you could not even see the beach, and the people were really ignorant and snobby, and clearly not Ibiza material. The beaches at ses Salines are far nicer. I would only go back to Formentera during a much quieter season.
Traffic
The motorists in Ibiza are very good. Everytime I tried to cross the road the cars would stop everytime, and even when I was standing near the edge of the road and merely looking across, the cars would stop and assume I wanted to cross. lol. I wish we had drivers like that back home.
Long live Ibiza 2014

. As to the street hookers it's such a tourist thing - unbelievable. Anyone with any sense goes to a proper brothel if they want to pay for it !
