Ibitha and fruit thalad

Hello All,

I´m in Ibiza for our first real day and its fabulous and I´m much more rested and not about to keel over.

Last night we had a good dinner, walked back to our apartment and I promptly passed out. This morning we woke up and I had a fabulous breakfast of fruit salad which was in fresh orange juice, and prosciutto and cheese on toast.


Then we took a bus to these beaches called Ses Salines which was so nice. We got there early, before it was too crowded, and paid to rent two lounge chairs, an umbrella and table, which was great. It was hot but having the shade was perfect and the water was so nice nice and clear, but kind of shallow.



Also, it was a beach where many people were inhibitionless and went topless...ahhhh europe. After laying there for a few hours and reading my old people magazines about why Chase Crawford from Gossip Girl doesnt pluck his eyebrows, (something I had been dying to know), we left our towels on the chairs and had lunch at the restaurant right above us. We had the most massive fruit salad I have ever seen and shared a pizza. I think we counted and there were 14 types of fruit in our fruit salad.

Then we went back to our chairs and I fell asleep until Stacey woke me that it was time for us to catch our bus back to Ibitha.

Ibiza has a Unesco world heritage sight in it which is this old fortressed town which now has hotels, restaurants and shops in it. We climbed up to it and walked around there and took some pictures and read the signs and it was nice to see the more "cultural" and historic part of the city. The other more modern part of the city that we drove through to get to the beach was kind of dingy and not cute or charming, but the area that we are in now that is more touristy with shops and restaurants is pretty nice.


After we finish interneting I think we are going to go get a desserty waffel since we are still full from lunch and probably wont do dinner. Then we have to rest up for our last beach day tomorrow.

So far our itinerary has worked out really well because I´m still recovering from the long flights and it´s great to just be doing the beach now and not much else.

Other Ibiza observations:
When ham is on the menu, it actually means proscuitto. proscuitto = happy hannah (and its on the menu a lot!!)

Most of the tourists are European, we´ve seen a few americans, but not many.

On the beach big groups of people would come by and promote parties/things going on at clubs, but other than that, it´s pretty easy to avoid the clubing/partyness of Ibiza.

Also, to clarify, a question I got from my earlier blog post, (many) people in the airports pay 9 euro fore a man to shrink wrap their luggage in neon green plastic. If anyone knows how or why they do this..enlighten me!


Well, that´s all for now! this blogging experience was actually rather easy and painless because we found a much much better internet cafe then yesterday. so, as long as we can find good and fast internet cafes along the way, blogging shouldnt be too big of a hassle!

And here is some graffitti to make you think:
