The following day we headed onto Javea where we were going to leave the van and kites and journey to Ibiza. We managed to sort out the details for the ferry on the way through Denia, and luckily got some internet so we could try and find a hotel. Saturday morning we got up early and got a taxi to the port. It turned out we could have spent at least another hour in bed as we were excessively early. The ferry itself looked a little on the rusty side but we thought they must have spent all the money on the interior on cafes and things o keep us entertained like there had been on the Brittany Ferries boat on the way to France. We soon learnt differently, the interior was actually a total skank pit with no restaurant, no shop or entertainment, it started to look like our decision not to bring anything to read may have a been a bad one. The 70s decor and general shabbiness of the interior didn’t add to the experience. We spent most of the journey asleep or sunbathing on the deck watching the approach to the island.
Once in the port we spotted one of the hotels we’d liked the look of on the internet, luckily they had one room left for the weekend. The room was really nice, recently re-decorated with nice bathroom, fridge, t.v. and a balcony overlooking one of the busiest streets in Ibiza town. We decided to find some food first and then go for a wander round the shops. We had a great 3 course meal with wine, a short siesta and then went shopping. We both managed to find some more clothes to buy and then went back to the hotel to get changed.
The balcony definitely came into its own once the bars opened up. It was brilliant for people watching, seeing the bar bints trying to entice people in for drinks and all the dodgy deals that were going on. After a few beers we went out to the bars and then onto El Divino. The night was ok but only cheesy Hed Kandi music and mostly Brits trying to pull. At about 4 we decided to call it a night and went back to the hotel to sleep.
The next day we woke-up a bit late, had some breakfast and got ready to go to Space. We got there at about midday and aside from a pass-out to get some lunch didn’t leave until 18 hours later. Quality night, good music.
