Desperate Serbwife

I-booze-a

On the way back to Belgrade from the US, Mike and I took a brief detour to the Spanish island of Ibiza for a friend's wedding.

We flew on the 1:15am EasyJet flight out of London and we quickly learned the other reason that people visit the island - to PAAAAAAARTY!! WOOOOO! As soon as we were airborne, the flight attendant announced all the types of liquor he had for sale. He then reminded passengers that the beer has been on ice for awhile and they were encouraged to buy more than one.

(Now, before you think our friends are the world's biggest partiers, I should tell you that the groom's family actually lives on Ibiza and the wedding was on their property. So this actually was a legit reason to be traveling to Ibiza.)

However, the flight didn't get really exciting until the guys next to us on the aisle started laughing like Beavis and Butthead. Apparently, the nipple of the girl sitting caddy-corner from us started to pop out of her way-too-low-cut shirt. Then, when she laid across the seats to take a quick nap and her bright red panties were hanging out for all to see, well that was about as much as the boys could handle. Oh, yeah, good times.

Our X-rated flight was only a preview to the amount of nakedness that we saw on the beaches of Ibiza. And don't get me wrong, we're not just talking about typical European toplessness, we're talking doesn't-matter-how-old-you-are, both sexes, on all the beaches, nakedness. The first day we went to a nice beach to take in a little sun and picked what seemed to be a comfy, secluded spot - that is until some 70-year-old man decided to put his towel next to ours, strip naked, swim for a few minutes, and then come lie right next to us while he "air-dried." Now I'm all for people feeling comfortable to wear as little as they want at the beach, but at a certain point I really do believe there is a line that shouldn't be crossed.

So basically, if you like to party, drink heavily or be naked at any beach, anytime -Ibiza is for you. It is also a nice place to get married as long as your parents own some property a little inland and you can escape the insanity. For us, it was nice to see our friends and enjoy their beautiful wedding but I think we'll leave "I-booze-a" to the younger generations from now on...
