5 Things About Ibiza

1. It's where I have been for the last week on holiday! That's part of the reason that I haven't written for so long; I got a promotion just before I went, so it's all been work work work and then holiday holiday holiday. Lucky me, huh?

2. I've never been to Ibiza before, and had decided that I needed to go at least once before I got too old. I consulted all my friends who had been before and quickly realised that Ibiza Town (Eivissa) was the only place to stay. Nicky booked us a fantastic apartment two minutes from the port and old town, complete with stereo, air-con and giant marujana plant on the balcony.

3. We did spend quite a lot of time at the beach. We visited Talamanca (seaweed), Playa D'en Bossa (desert) and Ses Selinas twice, which was amazing. Clear, clear sea, sandy bed and beach bars every few minutes offering expensive cocktails, footballer's wives and loud beats. I'm not a huge beach holiday person, but it was stunning, despite the crowds and I did lots of swimming. We also visited SiAigua Blanca on the east coast, where we very nearly succumbed to the nudist vibe, but couldn't quite bring outrselves to whip our knickers off, despite being the only clothed ones on the beach!

4. I've never paid so much for drinks in my life. My £21 for 3 straight vodkas at Stringfellows story pales into insignificance next to €40 for 2 vodaks and a glass of wine! The strip along the harbour is packed with bars and shops and it's impossible to take more than two steps without a promoter grabbing your arm with a; "Hey ladies! Where you going tonight? You wanna drink? I give you best price."

5. We clubbed twice. Space on Sunday (it's the only day to go daaahlink) and Pacha on Friday night where I met Roberto from Big Brother!
