Last year I had a hard time to decide where to travel because I couldn't take holidays from work during summer. I wanted to visit Greece at first but then my trip was cancelled and I decided to go back to Mallorca. I left Prague on September 17th and I returned on September 25th. I stayed in Arenal with the same host who I visited already in November 2012. My stay in Mallorca was good, the weather was nice and warm, around 26-28°C, my host lived next to the beach so I went to swim every day. I used to visit Palma often and walk around the city. My host was very busy working in his travel agency and I decided to travel to Ibiza for 2 days. I took a ferry from Palma on Sunday 22nd September at 8am. As I had to be there one hour before departure I had to get up around 5am, catch a bus to Palma and then take a ferry. I couldn't find a host on couchsurfing in Ibiza therefore I had to book a room in the hotel Piscis Park which was in the north of the island.

After arriving to Ibiza I took a bus to the city and when I was walking towards the castle I met an Indian guy who lived in USA. We took some photos and he accompanied me to the castle. It was a hot day, around 30°C. We wanted to find a beach but we were told by the locals that there were no beaches around so we went to eat something and after we found a bus which would take us to the beach.

When we got to the beach in the south of the island we found out immediately that it was a nude beach, but the sea was full of dirt. There were many sea plants and small pieces of wood. I went inside for a little while but it was almost impossible to swim in it. So we just sat on the beach for some hours and took sun and then we went back to the city where we had a dinner in an Indian restaurant. I ordered Pokhara butter chicken which was chicken breast in curry sauce and it was very tasty. Then we took a bus to the north of the island to go to my hotel, but the security guard didn't let my friend enter the hotel so he had to take a bus to his hotel. I walked alone along the beach in the night, there were many people partying in the clubs but I didn't feel like going there alone so I returned to the hotel. One night in the hotel Piscis Park costed 23,70 Eur which I found adequate. The breakfast was included in the price. In the morning I walked around the city and I swam in the sea next to the port. The sea was clean and I stepped on an octopus while swimming which scared me a bit. Then I went back to the south of Ibiza to meet my Indian friend and we walked to the castle again and he accompanied me to the bus which took me to the ferry. The ferry left Ibiza at 8pm and I returned to my host in Mallorca late in the evening.
The following day I took a flight to Madrid where I had to stay during the night. I had a host from Sri Lanka who studied PhD. in Spain. We went to a Chinese buffet all you can eat for 10 Eur and I took enormous amount of food, including shrimps, noodles, sushi, fish, different kinds of seafood and also a dessert.

We spent a pleasant evening walking around the city, I already knew the places which we visited because this was my second time in Madrid, I had already been there in February 2012 for 2 days. Then we drank sangria and we returned home around midnight. The following day I took a flight to Prague.
