Spain - Ibiza day 1
I made it into Ibiza this morning about 5am. At this point I had been awake for nearly 48 hours, dead tired. I had a few delays and had to transfer airports from Heathrow to Gatwick but somehow the last flight to Ibiza was late as well and I made it on. It left about 1:30AM GMT. Due to my height and legroom requirements I am unable to sleep at all in coach class on the plane. Only maybe for a few minutes here and there but end up with a neck cramp. But that is behind now.
After I got to Ibiza I took a taxi at about 5-5:30am (GMT +1) from the town of Ibiza to San Antonia where our hotel is. It took about 30 minutes and cost about 38 euros. When I arrived my friends where still awake and had been out late. Apparently San Antonio is the more party going city of Ibiza than the actual Ibiza city on the other side of the island.
I went to sleep for about 6-7 hours and felt like a new person. The hotel room is nice and could be much worse from what I've seen of hotels in the area, also the price is right. I went out with Justin today to walk the nearby beaches and lay out in the sun. The weather is perfect. The water is clear and blue. The women on the beaches don't feel the need to wear bikini tops and I am complete agreement. I layed around on the beach making sure to apply sunscreen generously as a sunburn right now could make the rest of the trip less fun. I got some good sun and am feeling good with a nice breeze in a bar with a wireless connection at the moment.
Ibiza appears to be a big British vacation spot. We are some of the few Americans here. Actually I don't think I've met any others on this Island. Tonight we will go out on the town and see what the nightlife in Ibiza is about. I hear they can go all night until the sun comes up. I'm really going to try to pace myself. Otherwise I'll fade early. So far its great, the weather is perfect and people seem to like Americans here. Especially because we are not British as there are a lot of loud and crazy British kids that come out here.
The sunset is coming soon so I need to go. I'll write more once I've had more of a chance to experience Ibiza.
