Los Estanques Colonia de Sant Jordi

... on board. Just before docking in Mallorca, we found out that the ban on bringing alcohol applies only to spirits so we stocked up. Price difference &#8211; a bottle of Spanish red we paid $39 for last night, we bought duty free for $9 in Mallorca. This will help the budget significantly.<br><br>Dinner was smart casual &#8211; again we joined some others for dinner and after dinner we headed for the theatre where we saw ...

... 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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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 ...

Just south of the town of Portocristo are the Cuevas del Drach, which are really four caves all connected to each other. This cave however has a large lake in it, called Martel Lake. It's large enough to ride a boat in and to see all the stalactites hanging from the ceiling. It&#8217;s a beautiful place ...

... 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 ...

... from Germany. Good music, dancing starts up. We leave at 1:30 to catch the last bus. I am relying on my roommate who is totally confident about the schedule. Well, we wait with others but find out the last bus left awhile back. We need to find a cab which is difficult since everyone is trying to get to a bar/club somewhere. We finally get one. A late night by my standards but just starting to get going. My back could not take any more.

... 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 ...

... Dumping-Preisen hinreißen, was für den Kunden, also den Touristen nur vorteilhaft sein kann. Die Leute kommen von überall her, sogar aus dem tiefsten Norden reisen sie nach Spanien an, da dieses Reiseziel wie bereits erwähnt wahnsinnig schnell zu erreichen ist. Man fliegt von dort nur drei Stunden maximal, worauf der günstige Flugpreis und die günstge Urlaubsreise zu schließen ist.

... 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 ...
