Marins Playa Cala Millor

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

... 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.

... one you shouldn’t miss if you ever make it to Mallorca.

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/

... 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’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 ...

... my friend Sanny, with whom I worked together in the sailing school some years ago.
We managed to go Catsailing two times, and always had some good wind to ride the double trapez! Always getting me into adrenaline rushes ;-)

An evening with a big barbecue at Sannys terrasse and a night out for some fantastic guitar livemusic...

...unbelievable how fast time is passing!

A wonderful 2-week-holiday after we finished our exams. Don`t think we ever deserved the holiday as much as we did then!
The weather was just perfect, warm and sunny so we could be at the beach and swim in the ocean, but not too hot so we could start some sightseeing tours!
In the mornings, after having the first ocean-view-coffee on the terrasse, we went to the market to buy fresh fruit and bread, having big ...

... Adam Diehl. He built a hotel for his friends who came to visit, but he and his sheirs have permitted no other development so the entire peninsula is still very wild. As rugged as the terrain is I'd think it would be hard for developers to blanket the place with hotels, villas, apartments and restaurants for tourists but I have to admit that developers have been much more inventive in this regard than I ever would have thought.

... lake. One of the boats has a group of four muscians in it - two violins, one cello and a small organ - that play classical music as oarsmen very slowly row their boats around the lake. When the 10-15 minute concert is over the lights are turned back on and the group is invited to either walk out of the cave or you can get in one of the rowboats to be rowed to the other end of the lake where you get out and walk the rest of the way.

... in Cala Millor just before 1 pm and found the hotel quite quickly so checked in. It´s a rather nice hotel with 2 outdoor pools, 1 indoor pool, jacuzzi and sauna, which is rather a bargain considering we are only paying 15 quid a night for bed, breakfast and eve meal! We unpacked then went for a dip in the indoor pool, there was only the 2 of us in there. After a swim ...

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)
