Ok here goes I apologise in advance if this is boring and long winded but had such a fantastic couple of weeks and did so many amazing things that did not really want to leave much out.
Here goes.
We were scheduled to fly out from Jersey at 1300 on fri 13th to Manchester so we must have known we were tempting fate and sure enough a ten hour delay later we eventually arrived in Manchester and staayed at the excellent Ibis near the BBC studios (£42.95 per room per night www.accorhotels.com)
Our flight out was at 1630 on the sat so did a bit of shopping in Manchester in the morning before heading out to the airport only to find we have another delay of 2 hours-they speed up in air though and arrive in Ibiza at about 2200 instead of 2030. We still guestimate that we could be showered and changed at the villa and back out to el divino for Hed Kandi for about 1am. How wrong we were. We made the mistake of booking 2 hire 'cars' with Carjet and their handling agent Hiper in Ibiza. We should have guessed when our villa manager just raised his eyebrows when we told him. Anyway we get the cars and the convoy heads to the villa near the golf course near cala llonga-obviously one of the cars gets lost so we have to chase them arounfd the countryside telling the other one to stay still just near Jesus. Then one of the cars breaks down literally half an hour after leaving the rental office leaving the 5 in it stranded. Thank goodness for our villa manager who sorted out collection of the car and did shuttles with the stranded members of the group. The hire car company then informs us that we have to collect a new car on sunday-do they not realise that we have a very important date with Space!!
Anyway we arrive at the most stunning villa at about 2am-gorgeous pool, barbecue area-roof terrace-sound system-the works basically but with one major draw back-very isolated. We booked it through www.planet-elite.com and I can not speak highly enough of the service whilst booking or of the villa manager Marinus who was an absolute legend-he was able to sort out guestlisting for nearly all of the major clubs saving us £££ throughout the week.
Anyway obviously all that travelling has knackered ebveryone out but the villa has certainly lifted my spirits so it is off to call for assistance and despite getting lost on the way back and nearly dying because we forgot that in europe they drive on the right side of the road we all feel a lot more energised as the sun comes up and our attention turns towards space.
We had booked those tickets off the internet on the www.space-ibiza.es site and was very impressed with how it worked. we arrived at about 2ish and hit the dance floor straight away. God I love space there is nothing quite like dancing to great music in the blazing sunshine. However the woman who was playing was pretty boring so a lot of our group used the pass out but as I have been known to dance to karaoke before I soldiered on in my own little world and would like to apologise fro not being at the meet up at 4 but after getting in the next time i looked at my watch was about 6. So sorry to all. Iwas glad I did stay though cos whoever was on next was avsolutley brilliant-nearly my fav set from whole week. was it Tom Novy? Steve Lawler came on and played really hard and I was starting to wilt so went to see a man about a dog-what a mistake that was as it made me lose the power of sight and speech until i pulled it back in time to come out on to a dangerously full terrace to Morillo playing Nirvana and moshed my way through his set until ducking out at about 11.30 and going for a beer before heading back to the villa. Necked a couple of those 5-HTP and went to sleep. Can I use this moment to thank this board for introducing 5-HTP as it worked an absolute wonder for me as had no electric shocks or mad dreams and when i did slepp I slept superbly.
I will continue on with this later today but have to pop out now- hope I have not bored you too much.
