A Postcard from Mallorca




















We've just returned from a few days in the very beautiful Mallorca.
We don't often do this sort of holiday, as we usually tend to go somewhere in our caravan during half terms, but this year, as the weather has been so awful, we couldn't resist the call of the Med!


















We hired a car and explored the northern part of the island, all blue skies, golden beaches and high mountains. Just stunning!
























We stayed quite close to the old walled town at Alcudia.
Soller's little train.... we didn't get a chance to ride on it but it's on my list for next time.

 The lighthouse at Cap Formentor.....Majorca's most northerly point.
 The scary road leading to the lighthouse ... sheer drops on my side of the road!!!!!
 This is what the sun looks like ..... I haven't seen it for so long!
 There are so many of these little coves around the coast.

 How the other half live! The marina at Port d'Alcudia.
I'll show you were we stayed in my next post.

  2. Gorgeous! I can hear the rain outside (not drawn back the curtains yet!) so this is just perfect. I long to see blue skies and feel the warmth of the sun again.

  14. It looks lovely after all this rain, my husband suprised me with a 3 day trip to Mallorca last year for our anniversary - he's never so much as suprised me with booking a table in a restaurant before (or since!)Seems like you brought a bit of the sunshine back with you.
