Party animal dad holidays in Ibiza
A party animal dad holidayed in Ibiza, without having to pay for a hotel. The 64-year-old boarded a flight out of Newcastle for £62 and landed on the party island shortly after 7pm, taking only a change of clothes in a shopping bag.
He made his way straight to San Antonio for a pint, before heading to a Fatboy Slim gig and partying the night away. At 6am, he got a taxi back to the airport and had a short sleep on an airport bench, before boarding his return flight at 10am. The flight to Leeds cost just £20.
After touching down on UK soil, he caught a train home, arriving just 24 hours after he left. The whole trip cost less than £200.
