Formentera - day 1.5

We deciced to give into the Spain way = take a siesta in the heat of the day and go out on the town to eat later in the evening.
So after a siesta and nearing close to 8ish,  we decided to try and give the local bus a try.  we found out it picks up around 8:20.
We talked to the scooter guy and decided to rent a scooter for a few days and explore.  
The original idea was to rent a bike and that seems crazy until we get used to the heat.
Bus arrived 8:36 ish and off to what they call "hippi town", El Pilar de la mola, I know, tough name to remember.
The hippi market started at 4pm and we were not sure if it ended at 9,10, or 11.
We found out hippi's now close down at 10pm
We found a place to eat around 9pm and that is when eating places in spain start getting really busy.
Wandered to the hippi market where KR found that hearts are popular things to make jewelry out of, how perfect is that!  after getting ready to head back, we find out the late bus doesn't come until midnight, so we tried to find a cab and after two failed attempts of asking people we went back to the restuarant nd "monica" called a cab. Nice cool night and great spot to wait, we had a great ride back to the hotel before the stroke of midnight and neither of our magic slippers that brought us here changed.
Awaken to a beautiful day and a scooter adventure to come
Pictures here are of the spot where we waited for the bus and the scooter rental place as well as the dinner selection of tropical salad and
