Es Salobrar Apartments Mallorca Island Colonia de Sant Jordi

We woke up this morning to find ourselves just coming into Palma de Mallorca. Mallorca is the largest of the four Ballearic Islands – part of Spain and Palma is the capital. Very pretty little city and extremely well organized cruise ship dock – with ramps like at an Airport that you use to get yourselves into a covered walkway that takes you to the exit where you can pick up taxis or a bus into the town – ...

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’s a beautiful place ...

The night before all of the guests, Stee and I went to a dance club in Ibiza. We didn't arrive back onboard until close to 7 AM. We then began our cruise to Mallorca, the island just north of Ibiza. The crew had food for those who were hungry, but most of us went straight to bed.

Just after noon, around five hours later, we arrived off the coast of the playa ex pregons gran, a nudist beach just a few ...

... from Germany. Good music, dancing starts up. We leave at 1:30 to catch the last bus. I am relying on my roommate who is totally confident about the schedule. Well, we wait with others but find out the last bus left awhile back. We need to find a cab which is difficult since everyone is trying to get to a bar/club somewhere. We finally get one. A late night by my standards but just starting to get going. My back could not take any more.

Breakfast is provided at the hostel. Coffee, juice, toast and cereal (cornflakes or cocoa puffs). It serves the purpose.

I go to the Palma city center (20 minutes by bus). The historic area is OK. Cathedral is beautiful and there is a Moorish castle. Most of the city lacks character. So, this is pretty much a beach island although I understand there are some nice hikes in its more remote hills.

Early morning to the airport for my trip to Mallorca, Spain, an island that is a major beach resort. Everyone is still asleep as I put the final stuff in my backpack. I have enough time so I stop by a supermarket for a liter of yogurt and a pastry store for some chocolate croissants. What do they think as I stop in with my large backpack making me 6'9" and my front backpack making me look pregnant. I can barely make it through the aisles.

The metro goes straight to the ...

... Dumping-Preisen hinreißen, was für den Kunden, also den Touristen nur vorteilhaft sein kann. Die Leute kommen von überall her, sogar aus dem tiefsten Norden reisen sie nach Spanien an, da dieses Reiseziel wie bereits erwähnt wahnsinnig schnell zu erreichen ist. Man fliegt von dort nur drei Stunden maximal, worauf der günstige Flugpreis und die günstge Urlaubsreise zu schließen ist.

Took a catamaran out of Palma de Mallorca. Mallorca is a Spanish isle known for it's many small, but beautiful beaches. I did not take my I-Phone for fear of getting it wet so will have to get pictures from Steve or Judy. So the picture included is from the Spanish coast the night before. Elise and Julie avoided the catamaran due to their slight seasickness earlier in the cruise ...

After a 35 minute flight from Girona I landed in Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands. Since leaving Malta six days I’ve been on the go and hadn’t any time to relax, which Mallorca would be perfect for over the next 4 nights. The island is much greener than Malta and has much longer and larger sandy beaches; it’s no wonder why it’s one of the top destinations for European holiday goers, especially the Germans ...

Von Tunis nach Palma sind wir einen ganzen Tag auf See. Dafür gibts am Abend neben dem sagenumwobenen "Käptens-Dinner" im Theater eine echt tolle Show. Und um Mitternacht ein mega Büffet. Kaum zu glaubem, was man alles aus Essen machen kann :)

Am nächsten Tag dann in Palma sehen wir uns die große Kathedrale und den Palast an und spazieren am Strand entlang. Eigentlich hatten wir vor, hier auch mal ins Wasser ...
