My Last Ibiza Blog

Seems like ages ago doesn't it? While I was in Valencia I was thinking of ways to attract more readers to the blog and had to discount getting myself fired or claiming that this would be my last ever blog as they've both been done before.


Instead, I brokered a sponsorship deal with Willy the whale to swim round with 'View from the (Ibiza) Villa' emblazoned on his side. I thought I'd only have to pay him a few billion plankton in exchange but I was totally in the wrong ball park. No wonder they don't call him Free Willy any more!

Whale of a Time in Valencia

One of the unwritten tourist laws of Valencia is 'thou shalt visit the Oceanografic.' So we did.

Top attraction for us was the beluga whale which managed to conceal its 50 ton bulk behind a small pillar. I'm not sure who was the most surprised to see the other in this short scene, Jaki or the whale.


For some reason I can hear Billy Connoly's commentary, 'it's a whale, a whale, a fekking whale!'
