We arrived in Ciutadella just after 4 PM and will be anchoring here for the night. This town was once the capital of Menorca and was an important trading city in the middle ages. The influence of its trade center past are seen in the medieval old town with its many Italian-like style buildings lining the cities main square and its large cathedral. <br><br>At the mouth of the harbor is a tower/lighthouse and creates a scenic entrance ...

... just without the pounding surf.<br><br>The northern coast of the island is much more rugged and hilly than the rest of the island, with deep bays cutting in between the hills and the cliffs and sandy beaches lining the backs of the bays. We continued cruising along until we reached Ciutadella on the west coast.<br><br>Menorca has a much more rural feel then the other two large islands. The farms are lined with stone calls and if feels much less developed and less populated here too.

... they help themselves to the foods of their choice while the stewardess gets them coffee or tea and the juice of their choice. There is also a toaster setup nearby so guests can make their own fresh toast. With guests, there will always be an additional breakfast dish available from the kitchen and served by the Steward/ess. We&#8217;re not talking about a Denny&#8217;s Grand Slam breakfast here, but a dish using lots of local foods and always served artistically ...

We´ve spent the week excavating a trench! Even with an exclamation point it doesn´t sound too exciting. We dug down over a meter into rocky soil. After breaking up the soil, we had to ¨clean¨ it, which meant sifting through it for anything of importance. It seems like my main job was levering up and tossing out these stones that had been thrown in the trench when the camp was abandoned. We (ok, not me so much ...

... We explored the town the next morning and had a good coffee at a little cafe overlooking the harbour. Back to the boat and cast off for a short sail around the Island to another little bay where we would stay for another night before jumping across to Mallorca (our favourite Island). The bay was deserted and we tucked into a cove and again watched thunderstorms all around us.

... there is no expectation of anything interesting, our main goal is to dig out the ditch to discover its dimensions and extent. The pottery is a bonus, whose only real purpose is dating the site. For example, the lack of a particular type of pottery made enormously popular by Augustus tells us that the fort was no longer in use by 50 BC. Anyway, pretty interesting so far and good exercise.

The beautiful holiday I ever had, despite the rainy weather and some jellyfishes when the weather was sunny. In Cala Ratjada there are a lot of beautiful beaches and a pretty "promenade" where you can find a lot of nice tapas bars if you want to eat something. Here you are some of my pictures... have fun.
