second go at this... closed the window by mistake and lost the whole last post! :x
have enjoyed reading other peoples reviews.. so thought i would add one too
the best photos are here.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/spodhopper/sets/72157627619465285/
loads more on facebook but i dont think i can link to the set on there..
13th..
Up Mega Early for flights from Leeds at 830... flight over... pick up hire car.. drive to Ibiza Town.. check in to Hotel Cenit.. much nicer and quieter than the lux mar we stayed in last year! have an afternoon nap and then get dressed up in our hippy togs.. hit a couple of bars in the port area before dinner at the Pacha Restaurant..
Lovely Sushi and Gyoza to start.. Wine and cocktails free flowing..! the Fusion Mains where a bit of an Odd combo but pretty nice.. gorgeous desert too.. the orange sorbet on the side was AMAZING... wander through to the club to the flower power night at about 130ish i think and then danced the night away..!
14th..
Mega Hungover.. spent most of the day in bed recovering
Drove over to San An and eventually find Ibiza Rocks Hotel.. bought some drinks tokens on the way in... only to find we cant use them up on the balcony..! so we pop down to the pool area and have a couple of drinks down there with the tokens before the bands come on stage..
wandered back up onto the balcony to watch the bands..
The whip where pretty decent Indie popsters, though a keyboard player would have helped the lead singer.. he looked like he was spinning plates at times..!
Doorly... was rubbish.. no idea how to keep the crowd going..
he'd mix in a decent song.. the crowd would start to dance and then he'd ruin it by messing about with it on the decks with stupid effects, im a fan of Drum and Bass if its done well but this guy sent me to sleep.. chant of the day... doorly doorly made me feel poorly!
Then had to wait an age for Madness to come on stage...
But it was worth the wait for a brilliant, memorable performance from them.. the crowd went Mental dancing which was great to watch from the balcony! A nice long set that started and finished with some belting classics.. and a few new songs inbetween that i hadnt heard before.. and the cover of i chase the devil was great to hear too!
we had planned to go to The after party at Es Paradis but i still felt pretty rough so we just went back to the hotel via some decidedly average food in San An..
15th..
Checked out of Hotel Cenit and drove to Jesus for some delicous Pain Au chocolat at the croissant shop in Jesus... a stop off for a wander along the beach and paddle in the sea to waste some time in Santa Eularia before checking into the Grupotel Cala San vicente.. a lovely hotel in a quiet sheltered cove.. had a delicious dinner at a restaurant on the front in Cala San Vicente.. and spotted a guy at the table next to ours the spitting image of Moss from the IT Crowd..!
16th..
Mooched about the pool for most of the day and played with my underwater camera.. then headed over to San An to have a wander round the Pirate festival and watch the parades as well as having the bejeesus scared out of me by the cannon going off!
then onto the Cafe Del Mar for a delicous mojito (though not as nice as when we where there in april last year unfortunatley...) and watch the Sunset.. we had some more decidedly crap food in San An and decided not to eat in San An anymore!
17th..
Went to the Salines and ate at the ever delicious Jockey Club.. before lieing on the beach all afternoon with occasional dips in the sea to cool off.. headed over to PDB to see if we could get some wristbands for Space.. and within thirty seconds of parking the car and walking towards Bora Bora we had some! so headed back to the hotel to shower and change..
got to space far too early and sober due to having to drive.. ended up leaving at about 1:30 as we got a bit bored as the music wasnt really to our tastes.. next time we wont get there until 1:30!
18th
Drove over to Benirras to find Ibiza Yoga for a drop-in class we had booked, took ages and several phone calls to find where the class actually was...! arrived ten minutes late and got scowled at by the teacher... settled in and got on with the class..
have been doing yoga for about a year now and whilst doing it in the outdoors on the Deck was brilliant (if a little windy!) the three hour class was a bit too long really.. will have to find another shorter class somewhere next time
left the class after it finished pretty quickly as we where STARVING... drove back to the hotel and ate at the delicous buffet they had for the evening meal.. might book half board next time and eat at the hotel a few times as it was that good..!
to be continued in the next post so i dont lose it all again!
