Intro - 9th June 2019

We're all going on a summer holiday......

Well, just my wife (Jean) and me. Despite our advanced years, neither of us have ever been to Majorca, so as it's pissing with rain in Blighty, now seems a good time to get some sunshine and visit a place that gets talked up quite a lot.

Booked a two-centre holiday with our favourite travel agent, Trailfinders, some while ago. We fly out to Palma at around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, 11th June from Gatwick with Easyjet, returning early afternoon on Friday, 21st June.

First stop is the Hotel Hesperia Mallorca Villamil in the capital Palma for 4 nights. We are hiring a car so that we can have a proper look round the island. Palma itself looks very interesting.

The next stop is the Hotel Finca Son Palou in the mountains on the north coast of the island for 6 nights. All looks fab.

We are fortunate that a local railway line will take us all the way into Gatwick Airport. We did look at flying from Luton, which is geographically closer, but the flight times were dreadfully uncivilised!

Well, I suppose I'd better start packing now.....

Wednesday, 19th June - Soller/Palma/Port de Soller

Image
Oh, no! ANOTHER glorious cloudless warm day! :) Good night's sleep again, though Jean not quite firing on all cylinders. Drove to Soller, as was the plan, and took the extremely twisty road up over the Coll de Soller and down the other side rather than pay the toll. Take a gander at the car satnav image! Having done the recce earlier in the week, we knew exactly where to park for free before walking into town. Worked beautifully. Thence to the ticket office to buy our return tickets for the celebrated vintage Soller-Palma train - we knew we had to be there half an hour before the train was scheduled to leave (12:15). Only a handful of people preceded us in the queue and the ticket office opened at around 11:55. Spanish time operating, obviously. Parted with 50 € cash for two return tickets and was expecting a huge rush of people to board the train when it arrived at the platform. Didn't happen. We sat ourselves in the very front carriage and there were never more

Thursday, 20th June - Orient and Es Verger

Image
Well, the plan got off to a splendid start! Stayed by the pool in glorious sunshine for most of the morning and early afternoon. Lovely lazy break after a fairly hectic day yesterday. Time came to deliver the next part of the plan. This was to drive up towards Alaro Castle, stopping on the way at a restaurant called Es Verger, which has a reputation for serving lamb shoulder to die for. Rick Stein, the well-known telly chef, has described it as the best lamb he has ever eaten. I was briefed in advance that this was a tricky drive. And how. Bucketloads of hairpin bends, really narrow road and a truly dreadful surface for most of it, plus trying to squeeze past traffic coming the other way. Very, very slow progress, but we eventually made it. Nice views, but a very unprepossessing looking establishment (I had been briefed about this also). To be honest, I've seen better school canteens. One can also walk up to the castle from here, which

Friday, 21st June - Orient to home

Image
First day that we have awoken in the Finca Son Palou hotel to overcast skies. Fitting, then, as we were on our way home to Blighty! Last breakfast in this fabulous hotel, then the last remnants of packing. Settled the (largish) bill and loaded up the car. Off we set to Palma airport, which was remarkably uneventful. Even finding the place to drop the car off was a breeze, helped by a very jovial Spaniard who took the mick out of my English accent ("Splendid!" he said as we closed the contract on the car). The weather had improved markedly by now. I had at least prepaid our hold baggage for the journey back, so there was no repetition of the chaos at Gatwick on the way out. Checked our bags in with no trouble and through Security with no trouble. Am I finally getting better at this?? Bought some duty-free (gin, obviously, and my new found love, limoncello), found a bar and settled down for a longish wait. Eventually the call came and off we trooped - only to be kept wait
