Rhonda : Ibiza Spain is the beach playground for much of Europe. The night life is supposed be wild. Apparently one nightclub holds 11000 and has a huge swimming pool too. And the beaches should be full of beautiful sun bathers and the sidewalks packed with stylish young people. Instead it's these old lizards in sweaters slithering off the ship. It's cold! It's windy and 62f. Which feels even cooler in the shade with the wind.
I am so glad that I forgot( ooops) to book the fabulous pontoon boat with all the ocean toys. We would absolutely have not gotten in the water and would just sit on the boat for 4 hours . So instead, we slept a bit later and got a taxi to take us up to the top of the town and back to the port town . It's gorgeous and it's no wonder it has the reputation of the beaches. Truely breathtaking.
Then we found that all of the sidewalk cafes had Italian food. WTH? We are in Spain. We wanted tapas and Spanish wine. So weird. So, we picked the best looking Italian restaurant on the beach area . We did have a great pizza and Italian wine. And it was a typical Spanish experience in that we stayed there over two hours and we asked for the check a few times. Instead of the check they brought complimentary shots of appertifes. It took a good 30 minutes to actually to get our check and pay it.
We were in dock from 10a to 7p but we needed to pack and we had reservations at a specialty restaurant on the ship at 730p. So went back early. We had time to nap and get packed up before getting back out and watching the sunset from the deck one last time.
It is bittersweet to get off the ship tomorrow. This suite feels like home. We have loved the crew. And my god all of the stops. But the food was all so-so, the attention to detail was lacking, and we are tired of seeing all the same same on board. So it's time. New adventures start tomorrow at 830a when we embark in Barcelona.
Oh.... Chris was too tired tonight to chime in. But he will later.
