Had a bit of a trip to Majorca. Only 4 days. It was pretty nice. There was plenty to keep you occupied.
- Trips to Palma
- Boat rides around the island
- Bars
- Shops
- Bistros
- Bars…
There was a language barrier though; not the Spanish–English barrier you may have expected at first. It was a German resort. It meant that I needed to have two sets of greetings, farewells, and question responses in my head at all times. Waitresses generally expected me and the missus to be German because we didn’t look Spanish. It was quite amusing actually. I could understand but not respond. People kept asking me if I spoke German. But I didn’t know how to say, “no, but I can speak English and the odd bit of Spanish or French.”
We missed the bus for the trips into Palma. We never timed it right and I didn’t want to hang about waiting for a bus all morning/afteroon. The boat ride was cool. Got a chance to just sit for an hour and watch the world go by. A favoured pastime of mine really.
The flight there and back was pretty awesome. Flew over the Pyrénées and saw some pretty awesome ice–capped mountains.
