Early May 2019, On this trip, I am travelling solo in Ibiza, which I do quite often and really enjoy. I meet so many people and have made life long friends.
So today, I wake up about 11 o’clock, (after being out the night before), the weather isn’t the best with lots of cloud, so I decide to head to the bus station with no particular plan in mind. The first bus was for Santa Eulalia, I have never been there, so thought right lets go!
The bus only took 20 minutes to get there and the driver told us where to buy tickets for our returns. I think the bus cost about 3 euros each way.
As I mentioned earlier, with lots of cloud, it was inevitable that it would rain and oh my, did it!
I had a wander around in the rain and thought, ok lets hit…
I have been travelling to Ibiza, a few times a year, for six years now. My first time was in 1983 and I finally returned in 2014, on a hen weekend. Since that 4 day trip, I come back every year, as often as I can. Sometimes I travel solo and other times come with,or meet friends here. It seems that I have become such a regular, people think I actually work there…….I wish!
I have had so many adventures and met some amazing people, as well as some who were not so amazing!! I have walked for miles, travelled on the buses all over the Island and Formentera, hired a moped, caught water taxis everwhere, been to day clubs, night clubs, VIP events, bars, discos, restaurants and visited many of the hotels. All the while, practising my spanish language skills or rather trying to, but oh, it’s so difficult. However, I have a friend, a very old Spanish lady, who teaches me Spanish every day (unless I’m hungover, then it has to be English), but I also help them out with English language/phrases that they can use in their restaurant. She introduces me to the other Spanish folk and because I am trying to learn their language, they treat me like family. I still can’t understand half of what they’re saying though, I just nod in the right places and keep saying …. si, claro, si!!
Over the years, I have taken so many photos in Ibiza, I thought, perhaps I could use this space to post some. I have one particular group of friends who regularly join me in Ibiza, we have had so many good times together, over the years that I couldn’t do a blog without mentioning them. The memories we share are so precious, so these photos include some of them, hope you like them?
As I’m sure you’re all probably aware, this is my first attempt at blogging, so please be patient with me while I learn the ropes and any tips please do let me know.
