... 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 ...

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.

... 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. <br><br>Around 3 PM walked up off the beach to a clearing where the heli was waiting for us. It didn&#8217;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. <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).

... In order to make the weight limit, I take all the really dense stuff like books, electronics &#8230; and put them into my day bag which I sling over 1 shoulder to make it look light (there is a weight limit on carry on too which I am way, way over). I also have a shopping bag packed full of stuff. I am right at the weight limit but make it. <br><br>At the airport I see my first Starbucks which has $6 for a large brewed coffee. Never-the-less, most people have one. <br><br>I am ...

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

... making my way out of the airport I counted at least 6 flights due to arrive in the next couple of hours from different cities in Germany. After a couple of days lounging around the hotel pool and beach I took a city bus into the capital city of Palma to have a look around at the castle, royal palace, and impressive cathedral. To make things easy for me I decided to take a hop-on hop-off city sightseeing bus to take me around. While there ...

... 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 ...
