mallorca

on saturday night, lisa and i flew to mallorca and quickly found our hotel and got settled in and everything. the next day, we slept in and spent all day on the beach and swimming in the ocean. we had 3 days in mallorca and that more or less sums up all of them.

see, we thought that 9 weeks of travelling would be tiring and draining so we went on a vacation from our vacation halfway through. smart move! we are now recharged and ready to go back to barcelona tomorrow. after being sun-starved in the north of europe for a month we are loving roasting our bodies in the sun.

mallorca is an island off the coast of spain, one of the baleric islands (ibiza is our neighbour). i think its about 200 km from barcelona. we are staying about a 5 minute drive outside of the main city, Palma.

mallorca is famous for partying, so its too bad that we didnt come for a friday or saturday night. having said that, lisa and i went out last night and partied and it was still pretty busy and a lot of fun. we went to a place called Tito's which was way too cool for us, but i guess since it was a monday night it didnt matter too much. There is a main street that has bars for blocks, its wild! they don't really get going until about 1 or 1:30 and the party goes until 5 or 6 (for some people). i managed to not metronome, but we didnt make it to the sunrise or anything.

we went out for dinner before partying and had some tapas and light meals. tapas are like appetizers and people here will supposedly go out for a dinner of just a variety of tapas. one of our tapas was OCTOPUS! oooh... it was tasty!

more to come later. we didnt really explore much of mallorca, but that was the goal, and we had an awesome time just hanging out!
