... proceeded to win the playoffs on the second round. Our prizes &#8211; a Noordam coffee mug and a Noordam water bottle &#8211; these are referred to colloquially as a Dam Mug and a Dam Jug respectively.<br><br>We set off at around 6 p.m. for Tunis &#8211; although we do have tomorrow at sea as it takes longer than overnight to get there. There was a wild thunderstorm &#8211; actually the weather hasn&#8217;t been great ...

Palma is a beautiful city and has a nice attitude about it. You get the feeling that there is mystery, danger or something just lurking around the next corner, but when you round the corner, what you find is yet another party and another group of residents who seem to have truly mastered the secrets of a good life.<br><br>We arrived in Palma close of midnight on Wednesday. This city is also known for its wild nightlife and tonight was our only opportunity to ...

... cave tour we took the heli to the yacht which was approaching Minorca island when we landed aboard. It was close to 6 PM, so we washed up and had dinner on the sun deck at 7 PM while we watched the sunset and as we entered long entrance to the Mahón harbor, the second deepest natural harbor in the world.

... waded around in the surf or fell back to sleep on the beach. It was good to get rehydrated after all the alcohol and dancing from last night. It was a nice relaxing afternoon with a beautiful beach view with several other yachts in the bay and a parade of nude or topless people walking by. <br><br>One of the girls met a guy on the beach. They spent a few hours chatting and getting to know each other. It was ...

... 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).

... day, I have the same problem. The simple reboot does not work. After giving it a day of recovery, using the AC charger, it starts up. I really thought it was gone and it still may go at any time. I go through everything I can think of on diagnostics, reinstalling software &#8230; It behaves from now. <br><br>I arrive in Mallorca without a hotel reservation. I have been unable to locate any hostels. Some availability of high-priced hotels in an emergency. In much of Europe, there ...

Denn mit der nötigen Beschreibung und Geduld findet man immer ein Riesen-Schnäppchen, bei dem man den einen oder anderen Pfennig resp. Euro sparen kann.<br><br>Der Konkurrenz-Kampf zwischen den einzelnen Reiseanbietern ist groß. Daher lassen sie sich oftmals ...

... from beach bumming. I had one last day to relax and now I have to head back to the UAE. I have a short flight back to Girona this afternoon and then have to make my way over to my hotel near the Barcelona Airport where I have an early morning flight tomorrow back to Dubai via Paris. Three weeks seem to fly by and don&#8217;t seem to be enough. At least I have 10 days off in both August and September and have my tickets already for Thailand.

... Flair mit Palast, Kathedrale und den vielen Torbögen und Innenhöfen scheint es hier nichts zu geben. Aber das liegt vielleicht auch daran, dass wir zu früh (nachmittags) unterwegs sind und außerdem den Ballermann nicht zu Gesicht bekommen haben. Aber ich denke, dass ist auch kein großes Manko.
