Bye bye balloon

Emily bought a balloon on Easter Sunday at Pollenca Town market. On the morning we left the villa to come home we tied a piece of paper to it with her name and address on and let it go in the villa garden. We said that it might land in someone's garden and they'd write to her. She was so upset but what else could we do, we couldn't take it on the plane with us and didn't want to pop it. Anyway, here's the video...

Drive back from the beach

OMG is that what I really sound like? You know when you hear a recording of yourself and think, I sound awful!! I do. Please excuse the cackling witch who's narrating. This is our last trip from the beach to the villa so I thought I'd video it for posterity. The beach road is just behind us as I couldn't get the camera out in time. We just loved the drive back through the countryside to our peaceful villa. It was beautiful. Hope you like it.

Sorry to all those who are cyclists among you... We really got fed up as there are hundred of cyclists on holiday in Majorca who seem to think they own the road. There were some who obeyed the rules of the road by riding on cycle paths in single file, but most were in large packs wearing bright coloured lycra who rode in the road when there was a cycle path next to it and took up the whole lane - so we thought up a new sport - cyclist skewering. We thought it could be a great spectator sport. Two participants needed, one to drive, the passenger to hold a long wooden pole out of the window and see how many cyclists you could skewer or knock off!!

Playa de Muro

I was aiming for a panoramic shot of the beach but it didn't work too well...

Good price for next Easter

I made enquiries yesterday about lovely apartments we saw in the Pine Walk area of Puerto Pollenca. I got a reply today. I got a good quote for the same 2 weeks next year for a 4bed apartment with terraces overlooking the sea and am very tempted to take it. See what you think of them. http://www.puertopollensapinewalk.com/isabella.php

no more today

Well, that's it for today. Must do some housework, boring! :(

Note for me. Finished my camera folder, start on "dad" next.

Platja de Muro Beach




We called this windy beach as it was very windy there. But it was lovely. Long stretch of pure white sand, turquoise water that was shallow for quite a way, and hardly anyone there. Bliss.
