... 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 – the cathedral took over 300 years to complete so compared to that, Sagrada Familia isn't doing too badly.

After walking around the town a little – we passed on the Mallorcan royal palace, preferring instead to have a ...

And at long last we are on our way ... can't quite believe we are actually starting this journey after all the work, planning, talking .... And we know we've been to San Telmo many times before but this time it is different!! And so good to have Simon's old friends Max & Linsey onboard - after all they were really the people responsible for him ending up in Port d'Andratx to begin with.

... until Liam, a deckhand, poked up his head. He said he was sitting there the whole time, but I suspect he had fallen asleep since I had called out a few times when I first arrived.

After he lowered the passarelle and I was able to board, I jumped in the shower to wash off all the smoke and sweat of the night and was soon in bad.

The next day I went with a few of the girls to explore more of the town and to browse some of the shops. They ...

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.

... us off and then returned to the yacht go continue on their way. Usually the crew will setup an area on the beach with a canopy, beverages, and a few lounge chairs, but since none of that would fit on the heli, it was just us a change of close, beach towels a few drinks and sunscreen.

We weren’t nearly as hyper on the beach today as we were in Formentera. Today, everyone just strolled around the ...

... 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 ...

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 ...

... and up. and ther wasme saying, just around the corner, we will be there soon... we came all the way up until johanna said" i wont go any longer, get me a taxi!!!" then a car came and i asked her for directions... well the directions were: go all hte way back where you came from , 30 minutes or more!!! hahahaha, so it was just to walk alllll the way back inour sweat soaked party tshirt and long pants.... it was dark when we came down ...

... so a caution of some of my photos to my friend and mainly family members............ My flatemate Katie and I began our travels to Spain on August 29! Our plane was departing on Thursday, August 30 at 08:00 so we had to travel to Edinburgh Wednesday night to be sure to make our flight! Katie was not up for crashing at the airport as she wanted to go to hostel but I said 'No way! Number one we would save £15 and number two....we're ...

i visit spain so often but I had my first trip there at the tender age of about 8 months! haha!

needless to say I can't remember that particular trip but the subsequent ones really hit the spot with me!

I love Majorca because it has something for everybody. Mad nightlife, beautiful beaches and scenery, lovely people and not as "high rise" as main land Spain.
