Aparthotel Viva Sunrise Puerto Alcudia

... 15 minutes away. Taxis were expensive so we opted for the $2 city bus that was convenient and went well. Not much to do there but they have an impressive cathedral and attached museum &#8211; the cathedral took over 300 years to complete so compared to that, Sagrada Familia isn't doing too badly.<br><br>After walking around the town a little &#8211; we passed on the Mallorcan royal palace, preferring instead to have a ...

... everyone who&#8217;s coming aboard. So, whoever was on duty had raised the passarelle and had now gone inside. There are other boats around so I can&#8217;t just yell out until I get someone&#8217;s attention so I was stuck. I could either find a phone and call, return to the club, or just wait. There was a bench nearby so I sat down and just waited for about 20 minutes until I heard someone. I yelled out the names of a few people that I thought may be on ...

We arrived in Cala de Calobra around 5:30. We anchored in the small bay and took a tender to shore. The little village has a small pier along one side of a steep hill and the village is crowded on the hillside raising between two much larger and steeper hills. The whole thing looks like some Hollywood set because of its idyllic setting on the small bay. There are several bars and restaurants where we got drinks and ate an early dinner.

We left Ciutadella around 8 AM to cross back over to Mallorco and into the Bahai de Pollença. It is a deep cut and large protected bay on the northwest corner of the island. We anchored out in the bay, away from other boats and the crew setup everything for watersports. Since everyone was more spread out and busy with different ...

Just south of the town of Portocristo are the Cuevas del Drach, which are really four caves all connected to each other. This cave however has a large lake in it, called Martel Lake. It's large enough to ride a boat in and to see all the stalactites hanging from the ceiling. It&#8217;s a beautiful place ...

... speak no English. We have a great dinner and some nice (and inexpensive) wine. The owners are from Argentina so I discuss my trip to South America with them. <br><br>We head out to the main bar/club street. My back is killing me. Every step is painful but I try to put it out of my mind. The area along the harbor has a good café crowd but the bars are empty. We finally go into one at 12. Within 30 minutes there is a good crowd. Almost all ...

... afternoon at the beach back in Playa de Palma. It is so nice to have warm weather with sun. Quite a contrast from Scandinavia. This is an area full of German tourists. Mostly Spring break atmosphere. Apparently it is dominated by package deals. I have seen very few other nationalities here. As an indication, at the airport, Air Berlin dominated the airlines (even though this is Spain it is not Iberia or SpanAir).

... of Spanish. For a novice, this throws me off quite a bit. Luckily they all speak English but reading can be difficult although many places will have both languages represented. <br><br>By the time I am done settling in, I have just enough time for a quick walk along the beach. It is a long beach, 2km or so. It is reasonably pretty with palm trees. The street along the beach is full of bars, restaurants and tourist stores. Every block is a cookie cutter of the next. I crash early.

... my friend Sanny, with whom I worked together in the sailing school some years ago. <br>We managed to go Catsailing two times, and always had some good wind to ride the double trapez! Always getting me into adrenaline rushes ;-) <br><br>An evening with a big barbecue at Sannys terrasse and a night out for some fantastic guitar livemusic... <br><br>...unbelievable how fast time is passing!

... gehen. Aber erstens finden wir den Strand und das Meer nicht sonderlich sauber (zu viel Algen und anderes Zeug) und zweitens muss sich gerade jetzt die Sonne hinter einer riesigen Wolke verstecken. Naja, im Salzwasser baden geht an Deck ja genauso gut. <br><br>Wir laufen noch ein bisschen durch die Gassen, bevor es wieder zurückzumShuttelbus geht. Vorher kaufe ichaber noch Briefmarken. Komischerweise versteht ...
