Today Brighton, tomorrow Ibiza
Finally after two plus something years we’re going on holiday. To our fav place. By the ocean. Next to the paella. Where the snorkeling is fine, the bapfish rampant, the grooves sweet, the cafe con leche addictive, the cobbles friendly, the roads bendy, the beach at Sa Caleta our favourite, the dancing a must groove, the lines are down, the smile is on.
