... 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 ...

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 &amp; Linsey onboard - after all they were really the people responsible for him ending up in Port d'Andratx to begin with.

... everyone who&#8217;s coming aboard. So, whoever was on duty had raised the passarelle and had now gone inside. There are other boats around so I can&#8217;t just yell out until I get someone&#8217;s attention so I was stuck. I could either find a phone and call, return to the club, or just wait. There was a bench nearby so I sat down and just waited for about 20 minutes until I heard someone. I yelled out the names of a few people that I thought may be on ...

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.

... cute to see. She was flirting back and he was laying on all the charm. I was cute to watch and what made it even cuter was they were nude the entire time. I think they might have gone up to the dunes to get some alone time since the disappeared for awhile. <br><br>Around 3 PM walked up off the beach to a clearing where the heli was waiting for us. It didn&#8217;t take long until we arrived at Porto Cristo.

... 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 &#8230; Later in ...

... 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 distance to the shops and bars in the Port. The beach is small but the hotel has a good size swimming pool. Rural hotels have become extremely popular in Mallorca over the past few years and they appeal more and more to our clients. The most charming that we offer is the Finca S'Olivaret (L) on the southside of the Trumuntana Mountains. It ...

... been in this location at some point in time. There was no sign of anything truly Mallorcan in these stores, but I could purchase Native American artifacts and African baskets everywhere (what?). No wonder they all hate us tourists. Hoping to find something that would give us a glimpse of what this island is about, we headed out the next day to the town of Alcudia (we are staying at the port about 10km away). We missed the market(we would hit ...

... my backpack for the 3.5km into town, plus the 1.5km I spent looking for the tourist office and then a hostel. Quite by luck I happened upon the 'Hostal Ritzi', the place I had chosen back in New Zealand, who had told me yesterday that they were booked up for months. They speak English there and took me in. On the way into town, a middle-aged woman approached me and gave me a rose. "Gee, that's nice, thank you", I smiled and walked on. "Hey! One ...

i visit spain so often but I had my first trip there at the tender age of about 8 months! haha! <br><br>needless to say I can't remember that particular trip but the subsequent ones really hit the spot with me! <br><br>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.<br><br>
