Ibiza, named after Bes, the god of music and dance. A significant portion group would continue the week long trip to Ibiza. We would also soon welcome new additions to the party. With clubs charging a ludicrous amount for drinks (€10 for water, €12 for a beer or €15 for a mixed drink) we stocked up on Duty Free Alcohol and Gummi bears. With poisons in hand we stepped off the plane and like many others transformed into denizens of the island.
Wednesday 8th July
10:30 pm: After some initial confusion about sleeping arrangements we managed to check into our Apartment. Poseidon I in Evissa just off play D'en Bossa.
Thursday 9th July
1:00 am - 7:30 am: Espuma Foam party @ Amnesia (€30). Club located just off a major road, There were two room, one consisted of house/electro accompanied by transvestite performers the other being the commercial pop room. At 4 am the room filled with foam. It rose up past the ankles until my torso was completely submerged in foam. We were completely soaked and some of the causalities included a ruined passport and iPhone. Memorable song: Kool & The Gang - Celebration
12:00 pm: Many of us tried to hire scooters. These two wheeled vehicles would prove to get the better of us. Some of the sustained injuries included: Corked thighs, grazed legs, chipped toenails and a mountain of insurance excess.
4:00 pm: Lazy afternoon spent drinking beer along the Playa D'en Bossa. Bora Bora looks to be a popular haunt for drug dealers; approached numerous times. Couple of promoters from Privilege "allegedly" offered us free entry to Friday Night's party.
7:00 pm: The couple decided to cook us some delicious chorizo spaghetti for dinner.
9:00 pm: Nap time
10:00 pm: Pre-drinks, we have a superfluous stockpile of alcohol. Tough times ahead.
Friday 10th July
1 am - 5 am: F**K Me I'm Famous @ Pacha (€49). Considered one of the trendier clubs of Ibiza we were fortunate enough to have Will.i.am and David Guetta DJ-ing on the same night. Great party, all the hits were played. Had duds but was still an amazing evening. Memorable song: Black Eyed Pea - I got A feeling.
2:00 pm: Blue Marlin. Asian influenced beach side bar, think where Vincent Chase would hang out. Beautiful people walking around, sun baking the place to be seen. Relaxed by the ocean on the couches very swanky place.
7:00 pm: San Antonio for sunset. Large congregation of people loiter around the rocks and socialise until sunset. Glorious sight; Round of applause as the sun sets.
10:00 pm: Freshened up
11:00 pm: Pre-drinks.
Saturday 11th July
2:30 am - 6:00 am: Supermartxe @ Privilege (€30): Not surprised that entry was NOT free. Rocked up to the World's biggest club. Cameras were confiscated at the door as there was a strange stage show performance. Very noir interpretation of popular children stories: Mickey and Minnie mouse making out, Tinkerbell flying around on a drug trip, Snow White stripping naked and so forth.
11:00 am: Ferry ride to Formentera (€20) Hired bikes (€7) and rode up to the main beach. Playa Illetes. The island has a local Spanish charm with dirt roads, rustic buildings and pristine coastlines. Fell asleep on the beach, I think I'm suffering from heat stroke.
9:00 pm: Evening nap. Ugh, feeling dusty.
12:00 am: Pre-drinks.
Sunday 12th July
2:00 - 6:30 am: Hed Kandi @ Space (€30): Going through hot and cold sweats, I probably shouldn't be out. Music was awesome, highlight of the night and possibly of Ibiza is the Saxaphonist, Laura Fowles. Hauntingly beautiful on the sax and made my evening. Memorable songs: Coldplay's Viva La Vida and Delerium's Silence.
9:30 am: Packed and headed to the airport.
6:00 pm: Arrived back home, unpacked, showered, laundry.
8:30 pm: Sleep.
