... proceeded to win the playoffs on the second round. Our prizes – a Noordam coffee mug and a Noordam water bottle – these are referred to colloquially as a Dam Mug and a Dam Jug respectively.
We set off at around 6 p.m. for Tunis – although we do have tomorrow at sea as it takes longer than overnight to get there. There was a wild thunderstorm – actually the weather hasn’t been great ...
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.
St Elm, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain sharkita... 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.
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.
We didn’t have the change to visit another dance club on Thursday night since we departed Palma around midnight.
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.
sa Calobra, Balearic Islands, Spain mylifesjourney... waded around in the surf or fell back to sleep on the beach. It was good to get rehydrated after all the alcohol and dancing from last night. It was a nice relaxing afternoon with a beautiful beach view with several other yachts in the bay and a parade of nude or topless people walking by.
One of the girls met a guy on the beach. They spent a few hours chatting and getting to know each other. It was ...
... SpanAir, an airline that I have no familiarity. I was able to get a $100 fair from Scandinavia to Spain during peak vacation season. The flight is fine but they charge for everything, sodas and even water. While on the flight, my PC crashed. On the reboot it asked for bootable media. Yikes! A little panic but on the next reboot, it started up fine. I am backing up photos every few days but my PC has been key for my communication, my blog, photos, info collecting … Later in ...
Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain and Canary Islands will.traveller... it now boasts a new wing, second swimming pool and Spa. At the southernmost point of Mallorca is the beautiful port of Puerto Andratx with its collection of smart boats and a small fishing fleet. The Hotel Monport overlooks this sight and is within easy walking ...
Palma, Spain paulatluxury... made with care and thought. The town is very clean and the buildings seem new although I think that is yet another illusion. Perhaps compared to large cities like Barcelona and Madrid, they are fresher due to the lack of pollution.I glanced up at the tall leafy trees and down at the flower stalls that dotted the boardwalk. They come in every type and color craftily arranged into stunning bouquets ranging from 5-20E. A man walking by asked for directions upon finding out I spoke ...
Palma de Mallorca, Spain and Canary Islands whereshegoesi 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.
... restaurants was a given, and we were introduced to some of the best home-made paella at one of the hidden beach restaurants. I always looked forward to a summer trip to the island and even in later years visited not only Mallorca but also Menorca and of course that party island of the 70's: Ibiza, and where details of those escapades will be recounted in a future blog- so keep watch for an eye full.
