Final Ibiza photo..

Sorry, had to add another... this was the final view I had on my last night before I left. WOW.



OK, that's enough now.. I have to go back for Cape Town!

Ibiza week two - all the photos!

Check out all the photos from week 18 of the Trident Perpetual Festival by CLICKING HERE! Loads of great views, mad people and incredible parties - hooray!

Here is a photo of me with one of the chaps who walks up and down the seafront advertising Pacha club. That sign is surprisingly heavy. Don't think I really have the looks/height/heels or tan for that job ;)

Brits abroad in Ibiza..

On my final night in Ibiza, I went to the infamous Cafe Mambo to watch the sunset - and chat to other Brits abroad about why they love visiting the party island - check it out!

Week 18 - Ibiza fun!

Check out the video from last night's fun in Ibiza.. including an amazing fire-juggling, box-spinning, flame-licking tattooed chap!

Woooo Pantera!

Ok, so I am a bit of a metaller at heart. Well, all the time really. Love my rock and riffage tunes.. so was very childishly pleased to see this sweet container in a super market - Pantera being one of my favourite bands - but also the spanish word for panther. Nice.

Here we go!

Rather sunburnt probably and merry... and ready for Amnesia!

Woo hoo!

Tonight we are off to legendary Ibiza club Amnesia. Myself - the two winners - and DJ Tayo - will be heading there in a few hours to enjoy the insane raving fun time skill of some of the best DJs on the island. For someone (me) who has grown up in a world of rock and metal clubs, these past few weeks in Ibiza have been real eye-openers. I have had a great time! And while my heart and soul will always lie in heavy metal and massive stonky guitar riffs, I certainly believe that dancing is enjoyable wherever you do it - and whatever you are dancing to! Good times!

This week's winners!

Are Paul and Matt - here they are hanging out in a club last night :)

Celeb spot in Ibiza

I went to an Ibiza club last night with this week's Trident winners Matt and Paul. I nipped off to the ladies loo at one point and bumped into Miss Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud by the sinks (where she was adjusting her eyelashes). She was with a load of friends, so I didn't want to be too intrusive, but thought you guys would never believe me unless I got a quick snap. She was very gracious and friendly and very pretty indeed! :)

Attitude Is Everything

Hey all, so while I was having dinner this evening I started chatting to a lady called Suzanne. Turns out she works for an amazing company called Attitude Is Everything who improve deaf and disabled people's access to live music. She was talking to me about festivals - and how much she loves going to them - as well as the clubs in Ibiza, but that in her experience, some of these places have such bad disabled access that she cannot go to them. I found what she had to say so interesting, that I did a little interview with her about her job and the company so you could all learn about what she does. Have a watch below, and check out their Facebook page "Attitude Is Everything".

Spanish for beginners


I can speak Spanish. Kind of. I learnt it at school for GCSE, and continued it a bit afterwards, to the point where I can understand nearly everything - but can hardly say anything back. A rather useless combination really. However, signs like this make translation pretty obvious - so now you all know how to say "Beware of the dog!"

Hippy Market


Every Wednesday, Es Cana - on the north west side of Ibiza - plays host to its famous Hippy Market. Hundreds flock to this little town for the shopping and atmosphere. As I suspected, it's pretty un-hippy-like - with plenty of stalls selling items you may find elsewhere in Ibiza (floral dressed, 'I Love Ibiza' shirts, bracelets etc), but there is certainly more of a selection and a really amazing range of colours, sounds and smells. From the dance-music being played in the central podium, to the incense and food scent in the air - it's a pretty nice bohemian change from the club-heavy St Antonio side of the island that people know more about. Once I was done in the market, I had a wander around Es Cana (which incidentally took three different buses to get to - what an adventure!) and ended up having a relax on the nice quiet beach there. Recommended.

Tye dye tastic


I have always had a rather embarrassing soft-spot for tye dye. Me and my friend Rowena once spent a whole weekend when we were school kids trying to dye our own clothes in her back garden. It kind of made a comeback (sort of) last year for a brief moment so I am told - but certainly not to this kind of extent of colours and options. Yes, perhaps I gave in and bought a T-shirt. Not sure when I will ever wear it, but it's rather cheery ;)

Rarrrr!


How do you like my Mexican wrestling mask? Not sure why these are for sale on the streets of Ibiza - but there ya go. I went to Mexico last year for the Day Of The Dea Festival and bought a mask like this for a friend for fun... However, a little too warm here in this Spanish climate to wear one around.. ;)

Ahhhh!


What a mad and scary warning sign! I have never seen anyone getting chased to their potential death by a giant digger! It's like a nightmare scene from Transformers. Or perhaps I just haven't had enough sleep...
