I love Ibiza out of season 
This was the 2nd long w.e that we have been out of season and its completely different. I dont want to say winter cos I dont think it is! It was 25 degrees on the saturday thats not winter lol! We had a bit of cloud the other days but when the sun was out it was warm and on the monday (our extra free night lol) we had a bit of rain.
After a very long journey from Manchester via London via Barcelona we finally got to Ibiza about 6pm on Friday 23rd March.
We just chilled out on the friday as it was a long journey, leaving our house at 5.30am!!! we had a nice time in barcelona and just sat in this square eating gazpacho and fish and drinking rose and had a wonder round the market! We are going to have to go for a w.e to barcelona one day as a few hours just isnt enough time! We got to ibiza about 6pm but had such a hassle getting the hire car we didnt get to our mates apartment till 7.30pm (ok it was via an alcohol and supplies stop) it was cheap tho so we couldnt complain! We then discovered that the key didnt work in the lock, so we were stuck out of the apartment! Thankfully a mate on the island had a spare so he came out to let us in!! We were knackered when we finally sat down! They really should sort something out with the flights
On Saturday we met Gypsy (our wedding photographer) in Vara Da Rey and sorted out what sort of pics we want, shes wicked Gypsy really laid back. While we were there I think we must have had about 5 lighters put on our table with little notes saying that they are poor with no food or anything! One of them had a very good quality leather jacket on and they all seemed to have computers and printers hmmmm !! We then wondered down to Figueretes and had some rose and food sitting in the hot sun - I love it there. Pauly was driving so I had most of the bottle of rose to myself!
We then went on a mission to find George (our wedding hairdresser), she lives in Dalt Villa and for some reason we had never been there before (well only to the castle). I was a bit pissed after drinking all that rose and I think I rambled on about all sorts! She did my hair ace and suggested a few things and she also did Paulys hair. We were there for a few hours and talked about all sorts!
We went back to the apartment and carried on drinking and had some food, cant remember what lol and got ready to go out in the West End in San An!! Never thought I would here myself say that! Chris the guy who lives in the villa we've rented for our wedding picked us up and we went round a few bars in San An! We were absolutely leathered!! We went to one bar and they were playing some ace electro and minimal music so me and pauly danced around like fools and did our silly dance that we do!! I think we entertained the whole bar!!!! 
We left there at 7am as we had our wedding food tasting the next day.
Woke up on Sunday not realising what time it was as the clocks went forward! I think we were still a bit drunk! Went to Vickkis office, which was over looking Savanahs, very nice! OMG had the nicest food ever! First we got served some strawberry cava sangria which is my new favourite drink then she had laid all the table out like she would for the wedding and we sat on the balcony looking out to sea and being waited on hand and foot! We had tapas to start with loads of nice stuff like prawns, choriza, asparagus, manchego cheese, olives, hummus etc and we also had a bottle of Vina Sol and more sangria! We then had the bbq food which was just gorgeous, chicken wrapped in serrano ham stuffed with sundried tomatoes, homemade burgers stuffed with cheese, roast potatoes with rosemary, lamb cutlets and loads of salads! Vickki has a michelin star chef and even tho Ive never had michelin food before you couldnt half tell! Then the dessert was heart shaped chocolate brownies, lemon and vanilla cheesecake with berries and creme fraiche. We were just in heaven and didnt expect what we had at all, we thought that we would just get to try a few bits, but we had a full on 3 course meal with wine and cava! we didnt need to eat for the rest of the day and it sorted us out from the night before! I even got offered a job, so moving to Ibiza is looking more promising
We went to La Torre after the tasting thank you to sandi for recommending it to me we went there to sort out our suite for the friday before we get the villa and they got us to wait for 10mins while they sorted payment. We sat outside overlooking the sea, (the view is amazing) watching the sunset and they had this really nice music on. This one song came on and I got all emotional so I said to Pauly 'I feel really emotional' and he said 'So am I'! I started crying cos I was so overwhelmed and happy, I couldnt control myself! It was such a special moment that I will remember forever We are now on a mission to find the song! We got back to the flat and then went for a walk along the beach from where we were staying to the villa, it was really nice and we timed it with the sunset living in Ibiza would deffo keep you fit! We stopped at the villa for a bit and had a few drinks and watched british tv lol, how sad!!
The next day we packed to go home
and had another stop at the villa during the day and went to the Cala Gracionetta to check out how we were going to have the ceremony, I think it finally started sinking in! Went in a mad rush to the airport only to find that our connecting flight from Madrid had been cancelled as the season had changed the day before and Iberia were no longer flying direct to Manchester! :x After a load of hassle and queuing to sort it out and getting a very unhelpful woman we had to wait for this guy to sort it for us! Thankfully he rearranged it at no extra charge for the next day, we should have paid as it was partly our fault cos we were meant to ring up and sort out a schedule change, but we blagged it lol! As we had given the car back we got Chris' mate Kelly to pick us up and take us to the villa, so via a supermarket for some stock we went to the villa and chilled out on the terrazza drinking our home made cava sangria! Kelly cooked us a lovely meal later on and we stayed the night at the villa, so it was no great hardship having to stay an extra day!
The next day we got a lift to the airport and our flights were still running (gutted lol) so we set off on our journey home I bought the pacha perfume at the airport as Id sprayed it on me last year and fell in love with it, its gorgeous! We got delayed by 2hrs in london so didnt get home till 10.30pm, over 9hrs of travelling! They really need to sort out direct flights!
All in all a brilliant 5 days and I want to go back now!!!!!!
I hope you enjoyed my min out of season review!
