Ibiza – Is Formentera Europe’s Carribean?
Good morning from a cloud I be there it’s a little bit chilly this morning it’s a bit cloudy although the sun’s trying to Pork through but the few mornings were have been up it has been a bit colder in the morning never mind today the plan is we’re going to catch
The ferry across to formenta it only takes about half an hour but we’re going to walk down to the port and I Bea town we’ll show you the price of the ferry for a return ticket and we’ll show you what it’s like over in for and Terror when we get there oh oh
You’ll see today that they’ve got all these places cordoned off around the town but it’s cuz the triathlon is taken place today so just an our walk you can see all the stewards are out they got places kind of uh cordoned off you can see all the drink stations and stuff so
At some point today everybody will come running through here I think this must be the Running part of the first try athlete running through there we’re just going to see if I can get on this boat it’s called the aqua bus cuz it says it’s low cost so we’re just
Going to ask here and see how much it is on this boat and see if we’ve got enough money to get on it so we’ve just pretty much just walked on and you pay on the board so that was it was about €30 which I think came to
$59.98 for the two of us that’s a return so this is the aqua bus which runs the forment so that must have been a slow fairy so it took about an hour which I thought it might be just by looking at it there are some faster ones that take about half an
Hour and we see them bombing past but it was all right it was quite choppy actually coming across and seems to be a little bit windy here so anyway Forman Tera is quite a hippie hangout and where the hipsters come and they like to just hang out here on the beaches it’s quite
Quiet it’s away from the main tourist area it covers an area just over 32 square miles and only has about just over 10,000 inhabitants the island also has one of the beaches that was voted as one of the best in the world first things first going to get a little bite to eat
Cuz we’re absolutely starving we haven’t had anything this morning so we’re just going to eat just in where we’ve getting off the boat so we’ll show you what the prices are like in here I’m expecting them to be quite expensive with it being like right in the ferry port
Jack’s gone for a h and cheese omelette I’ve just got some scrambled eggs and we got some potato gravas to share so let’s see what these potas BR first I don’t know what sauce is that’s the spicy sauce is that meal as well yeah yeah I’m assuming so I kind of work it
Out fell hall fell not as good as had day no see what big I it’s quite big the quite expect a of bread uh-uh nice nice nice and fluffy looks good good yeah no I didn’t expect to get breakfast that’ll fill a hole set you up for your
Cycle got oh yeah it’s like filled in the middle and folded over good good that was €40 60 yeah quite expensive but I mean we did get the for Tatas braavos which are like €850 the scrambled egg The Omelette we had two Cooks each a cappuccino and a
Hot chocolate so it will Mount up a bit and of course when you’re in somewhere like this it’s a small place they’re pretty much trapped anywhere never mind let’s fill the hall we needed that and we need to get our energy up because I think we’re going to hire some bikes and
We’re going to head to as I mentioned before one of the best beaches in the world apparently which is called player Des eles so I think it only takes about 15 minutes to cycle from here to there and then two beaches in that area so I
Think we’re going to go and have a look up there but we’re going to have a look and see what time the feries are back so we can kind of plan what time we can get back for so there’s like a big kind of terminal here where you can buy tickets
And stuff so just going to go in there and check the times and then we’ll get a bike the office okay so that was 28 to get a bike that’s between us so it’s 14 each but we had to leave 50 to and you’ve got to walk
About 20 mi to get to the office so we’ve just been to the one there a place like just a little kind of booking desk there in the um in the harbor and then got to walk into town and turn right so it’s probably a good 5 10
So along the front here there are a few little places you can stay if you wanted to just have a trip away from I be there and get away from all those parties and it looks pretty quiet I can’t imagine that being Lads to do here
At night time I mean there’s a couple of restaurants and stuff but but some people prefer that if you want a nice quiet night away somewhere to come you get one of the faster boats it only takes half an hour hours are supposed to take about 55 minutes which yeah it’s
Probably about right I think was just over an hour hour about so got a nice pink bike for the day we’re going to go s all I need is a little Windmill and some tassels be all s just as I’ve got me pink mascara on the day as well here we have green
Bike so Al’s Beach is it’s like a sandbank really it’s quite a long sand bank and it’s quite thin it’s quite thin stretch but it looks lovely from the forest the water looks Crystal Clear although you might not get to say that as much today because it’s quite cloudy
So you probably won’t get the full effect cuz the sun’s not shining on it and then I think we’re going to try another Beach called Levante which looks pretty close to it as well we’ve got until quter 7 tonight because the aqua bus only runs here once and then back to IA and
That’s quarter past 7 so it leaves at 10:40 in the morning and goes back a quarter 7 I don’t know whether it runs more in the summer maybe because it’s out of season now it’s not running as much but it gives a bit of time anyway so let’s crack on
Morning right we’ve arrived at the beach say lce and already it’s a disaster I went over a bit of a potle and I’ve dropped me G Pro so now the sound’s not working on that but I think it’s the microphone connection with the plug in mic that
I’ve got and then I’ve got a flat tire now as well on the way so I don’t know I’m going to get back as flat as a bloody pan all coming through is like some Salt Flat the road’s quite flat and then it’s blinking bloody Tire has gone
So I’m now on my phone I’ve had a revered my phone so luckily I’ve got a bit of space on there so hopefully we can get through today and then I’ll have to come up some other measures if we’re fill them anymore anyway we arrived at
The beach SE color looks lovely it’s not a very big beach actually I thought it was going to be a little bit bigger there’s like a little place here and get a drink in that so I think after that I think I might need a beer
Little pink bik I knew you should have had the pink bik right I need right well after that most expensive beer of all time9 each for a large beer in there I knew it would be expensive I’m not sure I was quite ready for how expensive that was going to be anyway
We’re going to take a little walk along the beach here so this has often being compared to whiches in carabine you can see why just the color of water’s is and it’s just the so that’s been boarded as be the best beach in Europe which I don’t know
And apparently a lot of famous people do the B yes over the years Leo Messi Robert leowski and Cristiano Ronaldo all do the boards here spend the day here with family two more famous people haven’t got my board I’ve got me Aqua bu yeah just
Being of the SE I was put this on par with some of the water color in Thailand I’ve seen pictures of it always made a look better in the borders when the Sun hits it as well cuz it’s a bit cloudy the day see the fish swimming around here just clear as
There yeah it’s get my recommendation and there’s another bit I think that goes around where we’re going to have a look at walking to but it looks like there like a lot of like Surfers have a look around cuz apparently the scratches around and I think there’s a few eyelet at leads to
As well so there’s a lot of this kind of black SE stuff washed up seen it all the way along and I’m not sure if that’s just from the recent storms we’ve had here where it’s the SE are been really rough and it’s just spit everything up
From the Bottom of the Sea and and washed it off so it’s kind of taken up quite bit of the beach cuz the beach is quite narrow but at least the Sand’s lovely and soft it’s nice white color no stones or anything so it’s yeah it’s nice and powdery we’ll walk through
Cuz I think this is the bit where it’s just like a huge big sand Bank also on this side apparently the big sand Bank leads to loads of little eyelets that you can swim to and I believe from what I’ve read some of the my newest beaches hello
Rona I can’t shake the simplest feeling beyond the ghost we stand on the opposite Shore hello Rona I reach through mysterious ceilings my only hope i’ probably end uping taken off probably like gold proba toor or somewhere just need some like balance and C St that’s mad that think I’ve seen
Somebody with one of them hydril things as well which seems to be like the new pris and water sport Community they look quite good cuz it kind of like raise up and they just like floating along it look really good like stand show me where the ending goes honest honestly
Don’t so we’re just taking a bit of time out now to sit on this lovely Beach here and watch the k Surfers and get a nice bit of wind but still warm still nice and the Sea’s just lovely here just like I say it’s like it’s like actually sitting on
A beach in Thailand not so much the actual kind of Sandy Park but just looking at over the clear water and looking at those rocks there that remind me of like crabby area we’ got a donut and got some water we’re just going to have these have an hour or so here hello
Mo I push back the serious healing the ends unnown to get back the life I used to know we’re all in this has stand alone show me where the ending goes Hest honestly don’t I should be the last to know all in this I Stand Alone show me where the ending goes honest
H got back and the tire is completely flat so we had a ring the office in lasia whatever it’s called and somebody’s coming out whether they’re going to change the tire or take me back I don’t know so Jacky might be having to ride back on her own with two bikes
You’re going to have to you’re going to be stuck on for enti I am so yeah bit of a disaster but at least someone’s coming so we’re just waiting for them to turn up now but yeah it’s completely flat like it must have been like a slow puncture or something
But these things happen I suppose so while we’ll wait for the guy to turn up we’ve got a FY to catch as well so I mean we’ve still got a few hours just as well we’ve kind of left when we did otherwise we might have been that head
But never mind what did you think of that Beach uh yeah it was nice just probably sh no nice would you say it’s Europe’s best beach I mean the se’s pre that would say yeah I I that but yeah the sea it is pretty the sea is pretty yeah and we’ve
Seen a few nists yeah yeah yeah there was people with that cloes on yeah we’re seeing none and then all of a sudden everybody just started like getting nude so was seen about three or four people just along the beach yeah some woman she was like she had a bikini on and then
All of a sudden just decided I’ll take this off so yeah there’s quite a few so there was blow there and all wasn’t there so I didn’t didn’t really want to see a hair ass PL on your way back but it was now it was worth a visit I suppose but
The one thing I would say about foring teror is that really take advantage of tourist because you’re kind of Trapped especially here and you’re paying like18 for two bses it’s pretty scandalous really that’s a lot of money and even the bikes were like I think4 each per day and I mean mine’s
Ned really really getting that far but I don’t know would have been pointless renting a car unless we’re going to go around and see the whole island and even like getting like a mored or a scooter I suppose probably could have getting around and seen a little bit more but I
Mean we wanted to come here and see see the pictures up here so never mind we’ll see if we can get this sorted out and then we’ll be making while way back and we’ll probably have a beer or two here at last only waited about 45 minutes H hello don’t look so girly
Now thank you one yes thank you nice pink bik for me thank you bye Pink bik So made it back in one piece we’re back in Las Saina and then the bike I got as a replacement so it wasn’t working proper so I tried to adjust the height of the
Seat and the clip just wouldn’t work properly so when I undid it it was fine and then it kind of come loose and it wouldn’t go back so I I’ve had to like cycle back luckily with I mean I got back but the guy was just turning around
At the bottom I had to wave him down again and he come and saw it out but honestly they got back in one piece anyway um but the seat was like lower than it should have been so I think I’ve H me doing that so yeah it’s just been a bit of a
Disaster in a way we we made it back anyway but I think we deserve these ice cold beers got some nice floaty bits of icing we’ve survived another adventure that’s what you get calling your pink lady bike it’s getting us back back getting us back up the be chained it’s time to head
Back to the boat it’s about 5: to 7:00 now so we’re just going to get on the boat and then we’ll sum things up a little bit when we get on there and make the hour trip back to I be there we have our weather that’s okay she’ll fall asleep anyway
Thought we give a little a summary of Forman Terra what did you think for not the price expensive it’s expensive very expensive and we’ve taken the chaper bought which still like pretty expensive really and the FAS BS like I’ve just looked online and it would cost like1 return it might not
Be all of them but the one I specific one I looked at was thear what it’s I’ve had me issues with a bike today you little p lady so that was a bit of a disaster I dropped me bloody GoPro as well so the sound doesn’t work
On microphone and it’s that’s still a bik’s fault I just had 4 and that was what 20 26 so everything’s really expensive on for and like I said earlier I think they do take advantage of like day Trippers and tourists but that’s a bit of a shame
Really even the bike wasn’t that cheap like I was expecting 10€ 10 maximum but4 was a B I don’t know it’s just pushing it about a little bit too far mind I mean the beach was lovely today it’s just if I was going to come
Back I’d like to see what it’s like when it’s like a really nice sunny day cuz you’ll just really see those colors in the sink coming out it’s like it would look amazing basically and we’ll be nice to see a few different places on the island maybe as well cuz there are some
Like secluded places on the island it’s it’s been different we’ve done it another thing we can take off of this we be all the Bic Islands now so that’s that’s full cross off the four main ones like little eyelids and stuff but but how many yeah probably
Expensive put a bit of a negative Twist on depends you want if you just want to I the probably lovely when and it was nice and there was probably quite a lot of stuff washed up from that storm as well today wasn’t yeah which that didn’t bother you just don’t
Get no it’s been a good little Dayal like it’s been worth it just wish I had been a bit more availability on this one probably would have left a bit earlier if I getting back but yeah back so if had do I would probably like
I said do do this coming and then get the one come here so think it’s 50 per come here on this Bo and then ding so it’s a really choppy Crossing there’s loads of people now starting to like they sink you probably can’t see one either cuz Dre
Dark but yeah they said it was going to be bad it’s getting bad so this might be the last time you ever see you although the footage might never make the light I’m being drip on cuz it’s leaking through yeah this is uh this is probably the roughest Crossing I’ve ever had
That’s for Mena anyway I hope you’ve enjoyed the video if you’ve enjoyed it give it that thumbs up don’t forget to subscribe to the channel and leave us your comments and your experiences for mana and tell us what B you took all that was like so we’ll see you soon he
The forth part of this Ibiza mini series sees us take the ferry from Ibiza Town to Formentera.
We head to Eivissa Harbour to find out which boat to take, we choose the budget option, the Aqua Bus.
On arrival on the island of Formentera, we head straight for some breakfast at Amarre 32, before hiring some bicycles.
We show the price of bike hire here and take you on our cycle to Playa de Illetes, where Jamie runs into a little bit of bike trouble.
We then head to Kioska Pirata for a beer and show just how expensive it is.
We then walk along the beautiful clear waters of Ses Illettes and head along the sandbank towards the area where all the kite-surfers inhabit.
Jamie’s bike problems continue as we need to call for help to make it back for our ferry back to Ibiza.
