Timeshare relaxation!

The longest we have been in any single location has been 3 days...so we were quite excited to have an entire week on the island of Ibiza. On top of that we were staying at a great timeshare...thanks Mom!!

We flew from Milan to Ibiza and took the bus out to the town of Santa Eularia where the timeshare was. I actually unpacked my bag completely for the first time since I can´t remember when or where. Looking back now the week flew by, but we did keep ourselves busy. We drank Sangria, ate Paella´s, compared spanish helado to italian gelato, toured the old town of Ibiza, walked along the coast to Es Canar and the hippy market among other things. It actually rained 3 of the days we were there and even hailed once!! We had only had one day of rain before our island paradise!

We also both won a calorie burning competition and CJ got a free hour with a personal trainer who looked like David Beckham while I got a 30 minute massage for our efforts, not bad, although CJ was sore for days after her training session.

We enjoyed cooking for ourselves again despite the small kitchen we had. Santa Eularia was a bit sleepy early in the week, but picked up as the week went on. Our last 2 days we had perfect weather and got some good beach time in. Unfortunately we didn´t feel up for shelling out the 50 Euro cover charge for the huge disco, and I don´t think it was quite disco season yet. Ibiza is a beautiful island with sparkling clear water that was still a bit cold while we there, but I did brave it once and jumped in.

We flew back to Milan after our week of relaxation and then went on to the flooded streets of Venice. More from there next time!
