The other side

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Hola, I was thinking that most of you think in crazy, 24/7 party when you hear Ibiza. There´s nothing wrong with that, ´cause almost everybody thinks that and the island was known because of that. I´ll now try to show you the other side of the island, a side full of beauty, quiet little beaches, an lovely scenery…

Let´s star with the beaches. Besides Playa_Den_Bossa.jpg, the biggest and most crowded beache, imagine a Miami´s South Beach or a Santa Marta´s El Rodadero, Ibiza has some really nice beaches that are less visited, also in August. One and my favorite is Punta Galeras. It´s located near San Antonio (20 min from Ibiza Town aprox.) and the way altough well shown, it´s hard to make if you don´t have a car. There´s no sand what so ever, it´s just a cliff, which you have to walk downin order to get to the sea. It is the beach to practice FKK (nudity) for excelence!! Also a wonderful place for scuba diving and snorkeling!

Then without going too far from the city, on the road to Sant Josep there´s is a little “Cala” (Catalan for little bay), wich has no name or simply I don´t know it. It is tiny, only 10 people can fin in there, but Ibiza is full of Calas.

We could also go to Salinas…

Or take a 25 min boat trip to Formentera? May be watch a sunset??

And please don´t skip Cala D´Hort, which besides it´s beauty

has Es Vedra, the huge Rock in the water, which personaly is one of the most amazing places I´ve ever been to.
It doesn´t matter if it´s in the day…

…or at sunset

WOW!!!
Ok enough of beaches, what about the old city, Dalt Vila? It´s a very old city, more or less built in the Roman empire. It´s surrounded by high stone walls, which were built in order to protect the city agains the Phoenicians, who were actually the first pirates of the sea.
Inside the walls, the city has narrow stone streets where only pedestrians can access. On the top of the city there´s a nice cathedral. In the night the whole city is illuminated by a nice soft light. There are also plenty of restaurants in this old city where you can have a nice a romantic dinner with someone special.

The city and harbor

The cathedral

Anyhow, if you are ever thinking of comig to Ibiza, don´t let party get to your head and blind you from all the other great things this Island has to offer you, try going to Santa Eulalia, Santa Gertrudis and all the other little towns in the island, belive me , they are worth it.

P.S. If you have any question don´t doubt in contact me =)

Endlich!

Friday, October 21st, 2005

Pheew, endlich !!! I flyin to Barcelona on the 29th or so (now I know is the 1st of November), I speaked with Riky yesterday, the guy who is going with me, and he told me we are gonna go in those days. I´ll be working there until the 15th of January. Then with a two month wage plus the money I´ve safed, I´ll be taking a train or plane to India! UUUHHHUUUUYYYY!! At last!
I think I´ll have a job offer for the summer here in Ibiza, but I don´t know if I´m gonna accept it or not. In one hand is really good, I work here and have a nice summer again, plus I´ll return to Colombia with some money safed, but on the other hand, I think they want to start on the 1st of March, wich won´t let me too much time for travelling, the thing that I´m really interested in. I don´t know, if I can arrange something like, starting in April or May well then yes. As per ussual, we´ll see. But it´s really a relief to know something about what is gonna happend with you.
Other interesting topic, I´m now officialy Iligal in Europe. It´s not a good thing , and I´ll fix that as soon I get to Barcelona.
Ok buddies, jajaja, this was just to let you guys know, what was going on with my life, I hope you are all fine and happy , as well as your families.
I hope that the next blog will be more exciting, tahn the last ones, but hey life has its slows and fast moments. Na ja,
Tschüss und viele liebe Grüsse und Küsse
Simon
P.S. some olddies but goldies
