Terminus Palma

... 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 – 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.

Dinner was smart casual – again we joined some others for dinner and after dinner we headed for the theatre where we saw ...

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.

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.

... 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.

... 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.

Around 3 PM walked up off the beach to a clearing where the heli was waiting for us. It didn’t take long until we arrived at Porto Cristo.

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).

My roommate and I go out for the night in Palm central. We walk around and find a little place on a side street ...

Early morning to the airport for my trip to Mallorca, Spain, an island that is a major beach resort. Everyone is still asleep as I put the final stuff in my backpack. I have enough time so I stop by a supermarket for a liter of yogurt and a pastry store for some chocolate croissants. What do they think as I stop in with my large backpack making me 6'9" and my front backpack making me look pregnant. I can barely make it through the aisles.

The metro goes straight to the ...

... trouvera surement un endroit ou planter la tente qui ne soit pas trop loin du village. Après quelques minutes de bus on arrive à esporles,toujours sous la pluie. on trouve un endroit où poser la tente sur les hauteurs comme on me l'a avait indiqué. l'endroit est bien situé et assez plat. ce sera parfait pour notre 1ere nuit. le sol est trempé, mais pas le choix ...

... So, whether you choose to believe that I do actually work for a living or not, at least I can say I don't do the normal type job! During the winter, my dad came out to Palma to see me & spent a few days there. I got to act as tour guide as I knew my way round the island by this point. We also had a brief trip to London after that as well. I had a great time in Palma and managed to see a lot of the ...
