13th June

We're in Portinax on the north east corner of Ibiza. The World Cup has starts. We saw most of the opening game last night. San Antonio is party central. Packs of assorted youth roamed the street at night, some grotesque, others attractive. The bigger the thighs the scantier the clothes. Big girls with elfin friends. Tattooed blokes with weedy mates. And everywhere tempting invitations to one club or another.

It's another world here. A small bay with a half dozen boats at anchor, a handful of restaurants and a few shops. Internet and the football on TV make this place close to heaven.
