Spain / Mallorca, Cala d'Or 2009

Back to Majorca again, right at the end of season, it was a bit quiet and cool on the night but it was just what we were looking for. The hotel was more like apartments, very basic but for what we paid you can't complain. Although the couple of young girls next to us did complain and moved, I hope it cost them though.

Oct 9th

First day we just got settled in, had a beer at the hotel bar, wandered to the sea front and that evening and had a meal out.

Next morning it pored down, was this the end of our holiday, no, it only rained for about half an hour and the rest of the week was good. In fact we just had a nice beach day.

The football that night was poor as England got beat by Ukraine 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier.

Oct 11th

Looked to other way and found a really nice beach, with some rather posh looking hotels.

We also found a bar for using on the afternoon, the nice place offered two for one from about 4 to 5 or it could have been 6. Of coarse we didn't know this until we had already been drinking in there all afternoon but there is tomorrow.

 

We found a nice place to eat tonight and they also had Erdinger to drink, not bad at all.

Oct 12th

Next day we wandered out for breakfast and found a very cheap place with very good food, not Spanish just a good old English breakfast. Something we never ever have at home and I think this was only a couple of Euro.

We then walked the opposite way to yesterday and found another very good place, with lots of bars and many big yachts in the marina.

That night we had food back where we were last night.

Oct 13th

After a late breakfast, we went for a walk and ended up sunbathing. We got to the bar in time for the two for one and latter after getting changed we went out for tea.

 

Oct 14th

We wandered round to Es Forti, a small fort on the far side of town. There wasn't much there but it was a long walk for us.

 

We got the little tractor train back in time for the, two for one though.  The football was better tonight, England beat Belarus 3-0 and we had a good night out.

Oct 15th

Our last full day here, spent most of the time on the beach, sunbathing. Went for the happy hour, got changed and headed out for the night.

 

I wanted an early night as we were off in the morning but Dot was in a drinking mood and we even ended up in a pub we hadn't been to all week.

Oct 16th

Well we are off home today. Up and out very early (that's why I wanted an early night), Cala d'Or is a very nice part of Mallorca.
