Alcudia Marina

On Sunday evening we decided to venture a bit further for our evening meal & took a taxi down to the Marina. We tried some traditional Spanish Tapas which was delicious & then the kids had a play on the beachfront before we headed back to the hotel.

Cueves Del Drach

Had a quiet day on Saturday so 8 of us decided to go & visit the underground caves in Porto Cristo which is on the east coast. Mum's navigating skills mean't we got a tour round some little villages we weren't really mean't to go through but at least we've seen plenty of the island. Photos are banned once you get into the caves but dad managed to sneak a few although the quality isn't great. We all got to go on the rowing boats across the underground lake before leaving the caves.

Marineland

On Friday the 12 of us headed off in our cars again to the south of the island to visit Marineland just beside Palma. We watched the sealion show first & then the dolphins when the boys sat in the splashzone desperate to get a soaking. Later in the day we also watched then parrot show & then spent a couple of hours on the beach that has direct access from Marineland, so the kids built more sandcastles & everyone went for a swim in the sea.

Puerto Pollensa

On Thursday each family did their own thing & we decided to head north to visit Puerto Pollensa. We had a walk round the marina & saw lots of expensive boats & then who did we bump into but 4 of our friends. It turned out we'd all had the same idea albeit visiting slighty different areas of the town. Panda power!!
We then took the car up the mountain and stopped at the first viewpoint where you had to walk along a pretty scary wall but it was worth the views are spectacular. It gave you quite an eerie feeling if you looked down. Being brave we carried on up the mountain in the car along the narrow single track road which was an experience, having a tiny car did have its advantages! We climbed the last part to the very top. Amazing!
