Day 37 - and the sun sets on our Spanish trip ....

Ibiza

We went to Playa de Bossa for lunch on the beach and to do some souvenir shopping to prove we had been to the party capital of the world. We then walked back to Figueretes via the beach, it was probably quicker than the taxi or the bus taking into account the one way streets and tourist traffic. 

In the afternoon we caught the bus to Sant Antoni on the other side of the island to watch one of the world's top sunsets (so they say) while enjoying a drink at the renowned Café del Mar. We were quite surprised to arrive and find no beach, just a rocky foreshore, very few boats but lots of people all obviously doing the same as us and paying for overpriced drinks while waiting for the sun to set. Disappointingly there was a bit of cloud about so the sunset wasn't that great, we may be biased but Australian sunsets are better - though this wasn't the best night for it. Once sunset was over the beach area emptied pretty quickly, although there was a busy market place near the middle of town.
Lots of mildly disappointed people ...
