Hotel Aries Palma

Die letzte Woche vor unserer Reise ist angebrochen. Wir geniessen noch immer herlichstes Wetter in einem November der so warm ist wie seit 30 Jahren nicht mehr. Winterpullis? Jacken? Nicht die Spur! Kofferpacken - jaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Nos queda una semana hasta que nos vamos. Aqui disfrutamos el Noviembre mas calido hace 30 años! Ni bufanda, ni chaqueta - de maravilla! Bueno, vamos a por las maletas! Siiiiiiiiii

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.

... br>We ended up going to a large club in the center of the city. It was probably the largest club that I've ever seen. This place was huge! I ended up dancing with the girls until about 4 am when I was beginning to get very sleepy and returned to the yacht. I didn’t bring my cell phone and when I got back the passarelle was raised up to prevent anyone from getting aboard. There is always a Duty Officer on duty and part of their job to welcome and ...

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.

... lunch was served buffet style on the main deck so everyone could eat at their leasure and were it was the most convenient for them.

Waterskiing is very exhausting and after a few hours of playing on the water, the crew loaded everything up and we headed down to coast to the small village of sa Calobra on the Cala de Calobra.

... 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 ...

... the chinese restaurant. They loved us there. Gave us free shots both nights. Monday, our final day in Mallorca we woke up early and took an old fashion train to soller. this train thouh was not simply for transportation, the train itself was the tourist activity of the day. And it was amazing!! It was about a 45minute train ride from one side of the island to the other. through the mountains, through quaint litltle spanish towns, finally to soller. An ...

Maths in the square at night, being awesome at the quiz, teaching it to swim, vodka and top trumps each night, the boy crying about play club, the boy loving play club, the convertible red beast (megane), fred dancing with me, all the AWFUL people that go to those places (us not included)

... tables and shelves inviting you in for just a look. We passed by cafes and bakeries stopping to taste a typical delight which was a bun made out of potato sprinkled with icing sugar. "It's just a sweet bun. With some sugar on top," I exclaimed to Xisco after taking the first bite. "No it's not!" He rolled his eyes in exasperation. "How often do you get to have a bun made out of POTATO?" I kept quiet not telling him that my mom cooked a lot of things with potato flour ...

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.
