A man of 64 years old has traveled to Ibiza for a 24 hour stay with only a change of clothes in a small bag, a story that has become very popular in the British media.
Andy Armstrong was challenged by his coworkers to spend an entire day of party in Ibiza and accepted the challenge, which he carried out earlier this month, even making it onto the guest list for a Fatboy Slim event at Pikes.
This is the second time this retiree party lover achieves this challenge, after being challenged last year to party for 24 hours in Ibiza without accommodation. Intent on repeating the feat, Andy decided to rise to the occasion again this year.
Arming himself with a Waitrose carrier bag (a popular British supermarket chain), he flew from Newcastle to Ibiza for €72 and arrived on the island shortly after 7pm.
24 hours of partying
Andy’s epic party started in Sant Antoni with a beer at the Hotel Abrat while watching the sunset and preparing for the Fatboy Slim concert at 11.30pm at Pikes.
Then he danced all night, until the early morning, before partying on at the Eden nightclub for another couple of hours of revelry. As the clock ticked down to his flight home, Andy sat down to rest on a bench at the airport and returned to Leeds with a plane ticket that cost him €23.
Upon landing in the UK, Andy, with grown children, completed his unforgettable trip with a train ride home; the whole escapade cost him less than €250.
For him, it’s the experience that’s important: “It’s an adventure and that’s what life is all about.” At 64, he lives by his own motto: “I’m 64 and, God… I’m getting dishonorably old!” explained Andy to the Manchester Evening News.
