mallorca, i must have been mistaken

mark and i made our way to palma de mallorca...and finally we have internet again! sorry for not posting for so long, but therefore you get to read a loooot in one hit ;)

so far mallorca has shown us it´s pretty face. i have to admit, that i was not totally convinced that this island would be something special after only seeing it on tv in shows about arenal and ballermann or about scandalous hotels with cockroaches crawling under the bed.

but it is like thinking australia is all desert and kangaroos or germany would be all octoberfest (even though...? - no, just a joke :) )

however - we found this great (affordable) marina thanks to a tip of the crew from azzurro II we got before we left kusadasi. we plan to stay here for a week, discovering the island and doing some work on the boat preparing our wonderful maloo for the big lake past gibraltar!
a new masttop-navigation light will have to be put on (climbing the mast! hurray!), a new life raft will be mounted etc...

i wonder if i´ll still fit in all these tight spaces after all that great food i had in the past weeks !?

  1. Must do:
    Museum for contemporary art or Miro Foundation in Palma.
    A coffee on the town-square of Soller
    And a ride down the street to Sa Calobra
