Waking up in Palma - Mallorca - day 3

in #life6 years ago

From the balcony of the hotel I can see the sea and ship terminal.

And everyday there is a rearrangement of new and different cruise-ships no doubt bring loads of tourists to the island.

It's clear Mallorca is popular for holiday.

Yet, It doesn't have that over the top tourist feel like you would expect.

It's realty nice.

We did went for a drive to check out the Marina.

I don't think I ever saw so many boats (big and small) in one place.

I took this photo there while I quickly left car (sort of illegally) because parking was impossible.

Yesterday I had the usual eggs but also some extra fruit.

Fruit taste better here and I suspect it's because it ripes on the plant/tree itself.

But I'm no fruit expert so I could be completely wrong :)

We always enjoy highpoint (vistas) so we drove in the general direction of a mountain we saw.

Turns out this particular mountain also had some spectacular houses attached to it as well.

Took this photo though the fence of someone's garden.

This is were most Steemians will end up in 2025 :)

We drove back to Palma and came across the cathedral again.

We might visit it today.

For lunch we found this nice place (were I had the big beer) and they also served a mean Paella.

We both went for it.

It was delicious.

We spend some hours in the sun just resting.

I do understand why the Siesta is so important here.

It's just to bloody hot to move :)

At around 8 we took a taxi to a place Bianca discovered called the Crow's Nest.

A South African restaurant.

They had the South African Experience for two on the menu and we decided to go for it.

O man! I truly wish I could have taken better photo's.

The food was perfect.

Awesome flavour, well seasoned, perfectly cooked.

Could not have asked for more.

Leaving the place we waited for a taxi.

While waiting I realised there was a disco on the other side of the street.

That's probably a place where all the youngsters go at night.

Not me!

I was in bed just after midnight :)

Let's see what today will bring!

Fruit taste better here and I suspect it's because it ripes on the plant/tree itself.

I think you are completely right about that. This huge cathedral looks amazing. I definitely wouldn’t miss it.

Haha, we have missed it :)

Cool place.
Fun to see the dish seafood mix with red meat.
Good stuff.
Keep on postin'

Stunning views! The food looks awesome as well. It is very cool when you can find a city that has so many different cuisines from other regions.

This is where most Steemians will end up in 2025 :)

Not ruling it out at all - And if it's not this island in the sun then it could well be another!

Fruit tastes better here and I suspect it's because it ripens on the plant/tree itself.

I noticed that on leaving the UK too and agree that fruit is much tastier here and in warmer climates.

Have a good day guys, I hope you are finding time for the Brazil game! :D

Seven years to earn enough Steem to buy a house on Mallorca (although that's not how I would spend it) sounds good to me @exyle.

Something I read yesterday mentioned twenty years and that, sadly, would be simply too long I think.

That dinner looked particularly yummy! 😁
