After surviving what we thought was heat in the UK we jumped straight into the fire by entering a prolonged European heat spell that's affected most European countries including Mallorca.
With daughter Tegan and son in law Billy acting as full time tour guides for 4 days we've taken in some magic places including beautiful aqua coloured rocky coves, lovely outlying villages and of course Mallorca food and culture which includes regular courses of nightly gelato !
With the embarrassment of struggling to find our b&b after trying 3 identical appartments H was reluctant to stray too far while I spent some time with Billy & Tegan at one of their Witness meetings catching up with an amazing array of super friendly people from all walks of life and national backgrounds.
After H had restocked his fruit supply (approx 100kgs of peaches) we picked him up and headed north to a spectacular coastline with segments of hair raising narrow winding sections of road
We took in one particular lookout (not well guarded) with knee trembling sheer drops near Platja Formento where Billy (driving) had a fatigue induced power nap after our constant nagging while we took in the stunning views.
From here we took an even narrower road to a beautiful isolated cove that could only be accessed by scrambling for 20 minutes down rocks and washouts. This lovely location was wonderfully devoid of people. While Tegan and I took in some photography and drone activity Billy and H discussed all things "Bulldogs" covering every AFL game since the 1920's ,
With the sun setting fast we scrambled back to the lookout to catch the last verge of a stunning coastal sunset before heading down to Port de Pollença for a waterfront 10.00pm dinner - the sort of thing you do in Spain / Mallorca !
