Friday

Airport parking: My friend and I drive to the airport in the afternoon. Car parking for the week at Leeds Bradford Airport costs £50. I always pre-book so the machine recognises the number plate. That way you don’t have to queue up for a ticket and you just drive straight through.

Airport booze and food: As soon as we make it to the departure lounge we share a bottle of wine and order two meals – a steak sandwich and mini fish and chips. £20 each.

Flight: A Ryan Air special for £29.99! Hand luggage only. The previous week the flight prices were about £180. But it was also the week of the opening parties and a bank holiday in the UK. That’s why I always try to travel to Ibiza in early June.

In-flight: Small bottle of prosecco to keep morale high! £6.40

Taxi: Direct from the Airport to San Antonio. It comes to €35, but the drive is sound so we tip to €40, so that’s €20 each.

Hotel: Total cost is £460 for seven nights in a twin room at the Grand Sol Hotel in San Antonio. Although it’s only a 3 star hotel, it’s spotlessly clean and no weird wreckheads stay there. Another cool thing is the free wifi, which works in the rooms and even outside by the pool. We also have a fridge in our room – bonus! £230 each.

Drinks: Nothing wrong with a quick glass of wine at the hotel before going out! €2.50

Dinner: The food at Ibiza Rocks Bar on the promenade is always good. My mate chooses the chicken wings and ribs combo and I have the chicken pitta meal for €12. We also share a jug of sangria. €18

More drinks: On the way back to the hotel we stop at Babel in San Antonio’s old town for a quick double round of dark rum mojitos. It’s one of my favourite bars. €16

Friday total: £385.85

Saturday

Brunch: Skinny Kitchen down by the Marina for a wrap, drink and sweet pot deal. €10

Supermarket: On the way back to the hotel we buy water, baguettes, aioli and sangria from Eroski and eat and drink in our room before getting ready to go out. €10

Bus: Disco Bus to Amnesia! €3.50

Club: Elrow Opening Party! Ticket price is €50. I buy two vodka colas which are about €15 each and two bottles of water which cost €10 each. Expensive, but the party is insane. €100

Taxi: The fare is €20 from Amnesia back to the hotel, which we split between us. €10

Saturday total: £116.86
