Leaving Palma

Just a quick update as we are leaving Palma today.  Plan to head around the north side of the island stopping at a few bays and then head over to Menorca which is about 30miles from the east coast of Mallorca.

Palma has been great but pretty expensive for us what with the things we have had to get done to the boat so we are looking forward to getting back to some anchoring.  We spent another day inland and saw some of the other side of the island which is very flat.  The most impressive sight was an amazing cave system on the coast called Cuevas del Drach.  Its a huge system full of impressive formations with stalagmites and stalactites everywhere and then at the bottom of the cave is a huge lake.  At the lake they put on a show with boats on the water and classical music playing which is pretty awesome.  All in all we are really enjoying the Balearic Isles.

We have all been following the world cup here the last few days and managed to watch a few of the games at a street cafe across the road from the marina.  Saw Spain loose to Holland which did not go down well here and also saw the Australians almost beat Holland.  Kids love being able to see the soccer.  Hopefully we will make it somewhere with a TV for the finals.


Just have to pay a final, painful visit to the refuelling berth and then we are away.
