Majorca trip May 2016- day after travelling


All in all, we did well the past 2 days. In spite of flying on 3 different flights, TO. to Philly, then to Barcelona on American Airlines  (nice new planes and fairly spacious), and then Air Europe (long delay before take off) to Majorca.  Car rented is a new Kia diesel hatchback stick, similar to my Mazda. We almost managed to get to our destination with our GPS but it screwed up at the very end and we walked around close to where we were supposed to drive as very hilly narrow one way roads made it challenging. However we were successful finally.

Our apartment is a jewel.  A very pretty place with lots of windows and walkout from the living room on to a terrace overlooking the ocean. Twe bedrooms, spacious bathroom, and eat-in kitchen with all amenities , a laundry room and then a walk up to a terrace on the roof.  Location is beautiful with view of the Mediterranean and lush vegetation. A very hilly but very short walk to the main drag (just 6 minutes) and there is a supermarket and lots of shops and restaurants.
Today, we walked to the supermarket with a grocery buggy, did a basis shopping and relaxed on our rooftop
terrace after lunch in warm sunshine. Afterwards, we drove in to Palma port for some sight-seeing.
Now back at "home" and Nimi is making us pasta for supper. My legs are very sore from all our walking. Looks like we may have some weather moving in so tomorrow might be a driving around day...my legs need a rest. Looking forward to some cycling in a few days.
