Ibiza Day 6: Formentera
Managed to get up around 11am (somehow) for our trip to Formentera. Got the 35 minute ferry and watched some rubbish daytime TV programme on board (not allowed on deck) some matador getting divorced from a Spanish singer with endless loops of footage. Kerry didn't appreciate the bumpy waves so the end couldn't come quick enough. Arrived at the tiny port and sourced a moped hire company. No English spoken so all in hand gestures and badly spoken Spanish. As soon as we hit the road, we forgot about how rough we felt and looked forward to our 50cc/50kmph adventure. First stop was a lighthouse with a great view sparkly Med-sea view with dragonflies zooming around in the shade. Next was trying to find the best entry on the 5km beach. Found it after a couple of turns and discovered a few nudes - unfortunately they were retired old blokes sunning their wrinkled todgers. Still nice beach, no hassles, warm water. Couple of sun-soaked hours and we explored the rest of the island. Rode up to the highest point to see an amazing sight of the whole island. However we panicked as the moped's fuel meter read almost empty and the there was only two petrol stations on the whole island. We coasted down the hill ignoring the building traffic behind us and realised the incline had exaggerated the reading. To be safe we filled up the tank after waiting in the longest moped queue for a petrol station. All of £1.50's worth was bought! Took a diversion past the salt flats then headed back to the ferry.
