Summer Holiday 2018

Well I'm not long back from a week away in the sun with my parents. We went back to Puerto Pollensa in Majorca where we had been in 2016, though we couldn't get the apartment we stayed in the last time so we ended up staying down at the other end of the town. We ended up getting a package deal which was good in that we didn't have to worry about getting from the airport to the apartment as travel was all organised but on the not so great side it meant a very early start of 4am on the way out and 6.45am on the way back. It was hard not to be a bit worried when we arrived as we were standing waiting for the coach and it wasn't exactly hot and sunny, the weather had been better at home! Thankfully whilst it wasn't pure sunshine all week it did warm up and there were some glorious days.

It was lovely to get away and just relax and not have to think about things, and whilst I did check my emails when I was away it was nice to not have to think about my job hunt too much. It wasn't all sitting about the pool/the beach though. We went out for a day, getting the bus to Palma and then getting an old fashioned train to Soller, we then got a tram to Port de Soller and had a walk around there before getting eh tram back to Soller and then later going back to Puerto Pollensa. On the Saturday it was clouded over so we decided to do a local walk, it takes you up and away from the town through this lovely valley and then you have to navigate steep rocky paths down to get to a secluded cove. We hadn't brought stuff for swimming but it was a bit too rocky anyway. It was lovely to sit though and it was funny because not only did a woman get bitten by a fish on her finger but a number of goats also appeared looking for food!

I definitely recommend Puerto Pollensa as a holiday destination, obviously we were there early in the summer this year but even the last time there was a lovely breeze which stops things getting too hot. There are lovely beaches and restaurants and it isn't just a place for tourists. I've included some pictures below.
