Day 2 – slept in longer than we wanted – and it turned out that the scooter rental place was closed, hours are from 8am – Noon and then again from 5-9pm.
Headed out to the beach and in search of wi-fi. Spent a good amount of time on Punta de Baix and Platja de ses Figueretes. Lunch was good – we had a spanish omelette, some cheesy nachos, and a cheese pizza. Not bad – but their wifi would not work.
Around 7pm we headed back to the hotel area, we decided to rent a scooter for 24 hours – for 40 Euros. The guy renting the scooter did not speak English, and he was taken a bit aback by my Illinois ID Card (I left my drivers license at home for safe keeping). Eventually he gave in and we were on our way. Immediately we jumped on and headed to Cafe del Mar over in Sant Antoni to catch the sunset. The sunsets here at about 9:30. The scooter ride was quick, about 35 minutes – and we never went above 50mph. So basically, we drove from the East side of the island to the West side in 35 minutes. Cafe del Mar sunsets were made famous by Jose Padilla.
Unfortunately our sunset was a little bit cloudy – but it was still an amazing experience. We even got an amazing cabana / lounge thing – that had a great view.
Today we had a great day and visited a ton of beaches – will post more info tomorrow when we get back to Barcelona (and hopefully some internet).
Today we jumped on the scooter and had a full day of exploring!
We first headed off towards the Hippy Market – which is located in Es Canar. On the way we passed through a town called Jesus and got a little turned around. About an hour after we departed, we ended up pulling into Santa Eulalia des Riu. What a wonderful town – and an amazing beach – beautiful sand, great atmosphere, and cheap! We had lunch at a cafe owned by some British folks – they were very nice and gave us a bunch of pointers about where to check out. The search for wifi continued – but no luck.
Next stop was the 'Hippy Market' an Ibiza tradition that occurs every Wednesday in Punta Arabi. It is a huge outdoor flea market – and they sell everything ranging from clothing to crafts to music cds. It was very very hot outside today and walking through the market became quite the task. After making a few purchases, we got out of there and were on the search for our next beach.
We headed for San Carlos – for Cala Boix beach. This beach was a long hike down a mountain but was worth it. Boix is known to have the island's best waves – and they were great today. es and then to Cala de Sant Viceno. MORE TO BE CONTINUED... SORRY INTERNET IS ACTING UP
