Dear J-Land members,
Hope things are well with you. Have you missed me while I’ve been away?
The weather is lovely here in Playa D’En Bossa, Ibiza. Some mornings have been cloudy, but fine. It did rain one afternoon for about an hour, but it didn’t deter people at all – they just carried on without a care in the world.
The apartment is small and compact. There is no T.V, but I’m sure I’ll find other things to do. We have a very noisy air conditioning system in the room. It keeps the room cool, but the noise from the machine and Dad’s snoring are a bad combination!
On the first Wednesday, we visited the Hippy Market in the town of Es Cana. We took a boat ride over and passed through Figeueratus and Cala Longa. The market is very popular with the Spanish and tourists alike. I had never seen so many people about. I felt like we were packed in like sardines!
Afterwards, we met up with Dad’s friend and his wife who are staying in Es Cana and went for a meal. The return boat ride was much calmer and we were also given a free cup of sangria to enjoy. It was “a nice treat”, Mum says.
We visited the nearby town Figeuratus, which is rumoured to be the Gay capital of Ibiza. My first impression was not a good one as the buildings looked terribly old fashioned. However, we had a lovely meal in a Spanish restaurant in the town.
We have taken part in many quizzes throughout the holiday. There were three times where we were in a tie-break situation. On the last night, we actually won the quiz and a bottle of champagne. Then, mum decided to have a go at the Bingo – and she won 55 Euros! Couldn’t believe it!
Lots of love,
Leigh
