Vacation in Ibiza Spain, Spring 1966

In the Spring of 1966 . Anglia Control was preparing to be decommissioned, winter in East Anglia  was over.  Mac Dumler and I decided we were do for a vacation. As I remember it we took a world map and tossed a dart. Where the dart landed as long as the temperature there was warm, we were going. The dart landed on Ibiza, a small island off the East coast of Spain. When we arrived, we took a bus to the tourist town of San Anton. Since we had no hotel reservations, Mac went looking for someplace for us to stay. While he was gone I sat on our luggage in the middle of the town square. About a half hour passed before an excited  Mac returned. He said he had found the greatest Hotel, It was full of women, and  best thing  the price was right, I can't remember the exact amount but between the two of us we had enough to cover our stay. The price was so good we stayed an extra week instead of going on to Madrid. Well as you can see by the pictures we took advantage of all that the island offered. The meals in the hotel were fine, we rented motor scooters so we could travel around the island site seeing. I remember thinking it was so beautiful there if I didn't have but about 2 months left in the Air Force I may have stayed there. There are many stories I could tell about this trip, like the Priest, we became drinking buddies with, Viva Cuba Libra ( Rum and Coke with a twist of lime), The girls from South Africa and the English tour guides. As a mater of fact it was lucky we made friends with the tour guides as we did not have enough money to pay for our hotel bill. It seems Mac when he was hotel searching was given the price which he thought was for both of us, turns out it was cost for only one. One of the tour guides loaned us the money so we could pay our bill. I  sent her the money as soon as I got back to the base. And to close Yes the water was that blue. This slide show should be viewed along with the slide show of our Barcelona  Spain trip which preceded this stop.  By the way in case you remember Ibiza is famous for a book that was written by Clifford Michael Irving (born November 5, 1930) is an American writer, best known for an "authorized autobiography" of Howard Hughes that turned out to be a hoax. He hid out there.
