El Coto Colonia de Sant Jordi

... acrobatic illusionist and his wife – pretty lame actually although one of their illusions was quite amazing. We came out of the theatre just before nine – just in time to form a team of four people and play a game of "name that tune" in the piano bar. The theme this evening was “The Beatles” and Suzanne and I together with a couple from Lexington Kentucky tied for first (ll out of 12 correct) and ...

... one you shouldn’t miss if you ever make it to Mallorca.

None of my pics looked very good so, instead of posting my bad pics, below is the link the caves website. Their pics are much better than mine and also show the boats on the underwater lake. http://www.cuevasdeldrach.com/

... cute to see. She was flirting back and he was laying on all the charm. I was cute to watch and what made it even cuter was they were nude the entire time. I think they might have gone up to the dunes to get some alone time since the disappeared for awhile.

Around 3 PM walked up off the beach to a clearing where the heli was waiting for us. It didn’t take long until we arrived at Porto Cristo.

... 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.

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 … It behaves from now.

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 ...

... Natur. Spanien-Reisen sind nicht nur sehr mannigfaltig, sondern auch in der heutigen Zeit sehr preisgünstig zu bekommen. 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.

Der Konkurrenz-Kampf zwischen den einzelnen Reiseanbietern ist groß. Daher lassen sie sich oftmals ...

... They walked along the Palma waterfront taking pictures and hunting for souvenirs. Our mantra in every port is "Magnets and patches and caps - Oh My!". While they were trekking, we were swimming in the ocean and enjoying the wind filling the sails. Kai and Steve were almost hit by a motor boat while swimming - America does not have a monopoly on idiots driving boats.

... 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’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. Unsere Seite der Insel gefällt mir jedenfalls besser, als das was man so im Fernsehen sieht.
