Monday 3 May 2010: Coldfinger

Today was the day it rained. And rained and rained and rained. And thundered and lightninged and hailed.

We tried the first of the Islands two indoor attractions -- the underground aquarium -- but it was closed due to 'WAITING FOR ADVISE', whatever that means. Luckily the second, the caves at the north of the island, were open. The guide told us they'd been completely dry since the end of the ice age then led us into the centre of the network and choreographing a performance of man-made waterfalls, ethereal music, strobe and UV lights. Perhaps he's learned over the years that natural history is a bit dull in its... um... natural state.

This is a shot of the bay at Port De Sant Miquel, taken just above the entrance to the caves. If you look closely you'll see a seriously cool James Bond Baddie pad on the island in the centre. From which I'll be running my global empire, as soon as I have the readies.

1. And how does one get to the Baddie pad? I gather getting drunk and trying to get off the island isn't a good idea :)

2. That looks like the ideal place for a baddie to run his empire.
   
   I have been to Ibiza...but seem to have omitted to notice that there are attractions for the holiday maker.......the bars and clubs were very interesting though.....

7. I think I´ll have to look for my old copies to scan into my archive... I spent some lovely weeks on Ibiza about twenty years ago. This view so reminds me of it :)

8. No, not the weather. We had sun, sun, sun. I hope you at least had a lot warmer than in the north.

9. Can you have a Goodie global empire?
