Mallorca

This is my last entry about a longer trip because I am leaving Spain in 11 days to head back to the States. For my last plane trip a group of us went to Mallocra, Spain, which is party of the Balearic Islands. One of the girl’s has a timeshare at home and her parents were able to move the timeshare to Cala Pi, Mallocra for the week, which was great because it made the trip really cheap. I arrived in Mallorca on Monday and was a little upset because the weather was not suppose to be great. When I got there it was raining but I was like at least I am near the beach. Also, we all had papers to do so it was okay that it was raining for the day because it forced us all to finish our work because there was nothing better to do. Also, that first day we went to the supermarket and got groceries because the timeshare was more like an apartment so there was a kitchen and pots to cook with. The following day it was still rainy in the morning but in the afternoon it cleared up so we ended up hanging around by the pool and exploring the small town we were in. My friend Courtney and I ended up walking down to the beach and hiking around the mountains over there because the beach was kind of in a canyon. That night the hotel was supposed to have a magic show so we thought about checking it out for the night. However, for some reason the show was canceled so instead there was some type of game show where men competed against women and 2 of my friends were in the competition. Obviously the women won and it was a lot of fun.

Beach at the Hotel

The next morning we had decided to rent cars from the hotel so that we could drive into Palma for the day to go shopping since it was sunny out but not exactly warm enough for the beach. Driving into Palma was so much fun because it was the first time I was in a car other then a cab since being in Spain and it was like a mini road trip. When we got to Palma we just walked around for a bit, got lunch, and did some shopping for pearls and such. Also, we saw the cathedral that was massive.

It was a great day. I went back to the hotel for dinner and we just all hung out for the night. The next day it was finally perfect weather for sitting outside so I woke up early to sit by the pool all day. I bought a book at one of the department store, which was great for sitting by the pool. That night we drove into Palma again for dinner. We went to this great restaurant for dinner that had all these pasta and salad dishes that were delicious. We had a long dinner and then just headed back to the hotel and went to bed. On the last day we just sat outside all day and just enjoyed the last day in the sun. I did not have a flight till 11:30pm so I had a complete day hanging around the pool and time to just relax. I had a great last long trip because it was nice and relaxing and a great time to regroup. I have two more day trips to Toledo and Segovia, which is the last trips before heading home.
