Doesn?t it feel like everyone?s in Europe right now" I?m not surprised to be seeing so many visiting that part of the world after two summers where we couldn?t get there. I had the opportunity to slip away to Spain in May earlier this year and I spent ten days on the east coast with my bestie travel friend. One of our stops was the island of Ibiza since it had held a top spot on my list of places to visit.
Ibiza is one of the Balearic Islands and it?s only accessible by air or ferry. The ferry boats we traveled on were far larger than we expected, they?re actually cargo ships that also have passenger sleeping quarters for overnight journeys. We watched semitrucks load on an off these giant ferries and it was amazing to watch the efficiency of the transport of goods on such a large scale. We crossed the Mediterranean from Barcelona to Ibiza on a ten hour overnight journey, and awoke to crew members knocking on our doors reminding us it was dawn and to hurry because it was time to offload with the cargo trucks, cars, and fellow passengers. We arrived at dawn so after dropping off our luggage at our hotel, we had the luxury of having the streets of old town Ibiza to ourselves. The lamppost lights were still lit as the sun rose over the harbor casting its soft light on the boats parked in the marina.

 
For an hour we meandered through the streets of the old town, admiring the whitewashed buildings with colorful shutters and laundry hung out to dry in the European way...
