Mallorca Trip

So I'm back from the sunny and 85+ weather that we enjoyed in Mallorca. For anyone who doesn't know, this included me up until about 2 weeks ago, Mallorca is an island off the coast of Spain. We left CPH on Wednesday, had a full day of traveling with a long layover in Madrid. We finally got to our hotel, Hotel Linda, around 9 or 10pm. It was sooooooo amazing! Warm weather at that hour, unreal. Our hotel was only about a 5 minute walk to the shore (of the Mediterranean Sea) so that night we walked along the beach and tried to get our bearings as to where our hotel was.

The next few days were filled with beach sitting, walking along the strip, and some pool time. The first day in the sun (Thursday) we fell asleep and got sooo burned. Dino didn't buy or bring any sunscreen so he was fried, I was a little burned but mostly tan. The first night we went into the city--Palma-- and walked around. We ate dinner at a little Spanish restaurant, had paella, and then to a little shop for dessert. The city was like any city--had its restaurants, shopping, people. I think we were the youngest people we saw for most of our trip though.

Friday night we went out for dinner (spaghetti on the beach) and then to some bars. We found this one called "Rat Pack Pub" that had old music on and we found a few drunken old people to sing and dance with. This one had the hotts for Dino so bad, it was hilarious. Then we went to another pub and met a couple from Wales. They were really fun and we started plotting our voyage to Africa (I desperately wanted to go). The night ended in a weird bar called "Linda Salsa", our hotel club I guess. We stayed for maybe 5 mins and then got the hell outta there... too weird for us!

Saturday night we wanted to stay low-key because we had a flight the next day so we had a few beers down in our hotel bar (not the salsa place) and played air hockey. I'm not reporting the results of those games..

All in all it was a really good trip, probably my favorite as far as a "vacation" goes, most traveling we do here is not to tropical island but to historical cities. The breakfast buffet every morning was also a perk. I was a little nervous, I'll admit, to travel alone with Dino for that long. It turned out much better than I ever could've anticipated and makes me look forward to Croatia and Montenegro even more now!
