Spring Break Part 2: Ibiza!

April 26-  May 1

Alright time for Part II ladies and germs, IBIZA!

Early Tuesday morning my Dad drove me, Mallory, Harkiran, and Julia to the Marseille Airport to catch our plane to Madrid and then our plane to Ibiza! Upon arriving in Madrid, we walked into the most confusing airport I have ever seen. Mallory and I accidentally walked outside of our terminal and had to sneak into the baggage claim through giant white doors with a giant sign thats said DO NOT ENTER, and some Spanish that probably said we would be tasered and locked away in a Spanish prison. After rescuing our baggage which took a solid hour, we grabbed some lunch and waited for our flight to Ibiza. After landing in Ibiza, taking a cab to our apartment only to find out we got upgraded, and dropping off our bags we got some rum and pasta and started our first night on the beautiful Mediterranean beaches of Spain!

Wednesday morning, we woke up, made mimosas, and threw on our bathing suits and headed down to the beach to soak up some rays. Mallory and I went and ate lunch at this little restaurant right on the beach and I had eggs, bacon, and potatoes with a big glass of sangria. 

After soaking up more rays and napping on the beach we headed in to shower and get ready for our night on the town. Around 8 pm we headed into town and ate at this little whole in the wall restaurant by the harbor. It was one of the most amazing meals I have ever eaten. I got a salad with this feta- like cheese and this slightly spicy salad dressing. For my main course I had a tortilla which is an omlette-ish dish with potatoes and another small side salad. The cherry on top were the profiteroles and the great low prices. Filled up on Spanish food, we headed back to Jet Apartments and had a few drinks before going to bed.

Thursday morning was typical: Mimosas, bathing suits, beach. It turned out to be a perfect beach day with a cloudless sky and chilly, clear, Mediterranean water that Harkiran and I swam in a few time to cool off. We had some beers and got huge cheeseburgers for lunch. We decided to drink absinthe that night which ended up being a really bad idea as I had to shots of it and was gone-zo, it was an early night for me. Not after an embarrassing dinner where I asked our very sweet waiter where she was from like 2000000000 times. 

Friday we all woke up feeling rather under the weather. Thankfully, it was windy and cloudy so we didn't miss much. Harkiran was ready to try out Pacha, the most famous club of Ibiza. It was looking bad for a while until we all miraculously rallied and made our way to the infamous club.

We got to the club around 2 am and did not leave till 5 am. It was so much fun, definitely the most amazing club I haver ever seen. It wasn't a normal club, it was more of an experience with amazing DJs and electric violins, guitars, and saxophones. The next morning we begrudgingly woke up and headed to the airport to head back to Nantes and Finals.

Ibiza was definitely one of the most amazing spring breaks ever and I had the time of my life. I have less than two weeks left in my French adventure and let me tell you all, it has been the most amazing experience of my life. To all those people out there who are considering studying abroad, do it, I have no regrets and my life will be forever changed because of it. I will try to do a few more blog entries before returning to the good ole USA. I cannot wait to see everyone! Wish me luck on finals and I will see you soon!
