... proceeded to win the playoffs on the second round. Our prizes &#8211; a Noordam coffee mug and a Noordam water bottle &#8211; these are referred to colloquially as a Dam Mug and a Dam Jug respectively.<br><br>We set off at around 6 p.m. for Tunis &#8211; although we do have tomorrow at sea as it takes longer than overnight to get there. There was a wild thunderstorm &#8211; actually the weather hasn&#8217;t been great ...

... much more time shopping then I would have so I kept darting off to explore some of the side streets while they were debating with themselves on what to spend their money on. <br><br>Later in the afternoon, I met up with Stee and we went to visit the Castillo de Belver, an unusual round fortress on the hilltop overlooking the harbor. <br><br>We didn&#8217;t have the change to visit another dance club on Thursday night since we departed Palma around midnight.

... one you shouldn&#8217;t miss if you ever make it to Mallorca. <br><br>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/<br><br>A fter ...

... away from the small coastal town of Colònia de Sant Jordi. This beach was rated the second best bare beach in the world and I can see why. Only six of us could go to the beach since the yacht would continue on towards Minorca and we would have to return on the heli. I didn&#8217;t even think we would have six people since no one had fully recovered from last night. We took a tender to shore where the crew ...

I take a bus to the other side of Palma where there are some small, pretty beaches. Finding them is a little tricky but they are pretty, for city beaches and have a much more Spanish orientation. Some really nice beaches are supposed to be available but I lack the time to work them in (it is large island with slow transit). <br><br>My roommate and I go out for the night in Palm central. We walk around and find a little place on a side street ...

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

... a hotel reservation service at the airport/railway which offers unused rooms at a big discount. No such service in Mallorca. The tourist info desk says they got rid of that service and that they were unable to help. They do, however give me some literature which has a hostel listed in it. I would guess that it is full but it is a starting point from which I can walk around to hotels if it is full.<br><br>As I walk into the hotel, there is a living room full of people. They all ...

Neben dem spanischen Festland sind es vor allem die Inseln Mallorca oder Ibiza, auf denen man vor allem das hiesige Nachtleben voll auskosten kann. Menorca, aber auch Fuerteventura sind Inseln, die sich hervorragend für Familien mit Kindern eignen. Aber auch Lanzarote oder Gran Canaria offerieren einen optimalen Aufenthalt mit ihren wunderschönen und einmaligen Landschaften und der ...

After a 35 minute flight from Girona I landed in Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands. Since leaving Malta six days I&#8217;ve been on the go and hadn&#8217;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&#8217;s no wonder why it&#8217;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 :)<br><br>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 ...
