Waking up in Palma - Mallorca - day 3

in #life6 years ago

From the balcony of the hotel I can see the sea and ship terminal.

And everyday there is a rearrangement of new and different cruise-ships no doubt bring loads of tourists to the island.

It's clear Mallorca is popular for holiday.

Yet, It doesn't have that over the top tourist feel like you would expect.

It's realty nice.

We did went for a drive to check out the Marina.

I don't think I ever saw so many boats (big and small) in one place.

I took this photo there while I quickly left car (sort of illegally) because parking was impossible.

Yesterday I had the usual eggs but also some extra fruit.

Fruit taste better here and I suspect it's because it ripes on the plant/tree itself.

But I'm no fruit expert so I could be completely wrong :)

We always enjoy highpoint (vistas) so we drove in the general direction of a mountain we saw.

Turns out this particular mountain also had some spectacular houses attached to it as well.

Took this photo though the fence of someone's garden.

This is were most Steemians will end up in 2025 :)

We drove back to Palma and came across the cathedral again.

We might visit it today.

For lunch we found this nice place (were I had the big beer) and they also served a mean Paella.

We both went for it.

It was delicious.

We spend some hours in the sun just resting.

I do understand why the Siesta is so important here.

It's just to bloody hot to move :)

At around 8 we took a taxi to a place Bianca discovered called the Crow's Nest.

A South African restaurant.

They had the South African Experience for two on the menu and we decided to go for it.

O man! I truly wish I could have taken better photo's.

The food was perfect.

Awesome flavour, well seasoned, perfectly cooked.

Could not have asked for more.

Leaving the place we waited for a taxi.

While waiting I realised there was a disco on the other side of the street.

That's probably a place where all the youngsters go at night.

Not me!

I was in bed just after midnight :)

Let's see what today will bring!

Thank you and your welcome :)

Hehehe what am I supposed to do with an orange on my plate of rice? Which to I have first? The orange or the rice. And what are those Black stuffs protruding there?

This is indeed a beautiful place and one I would love to visit. Will add this to my list.

You are always here with a beautiful selfie.Benica is looking happy and beautiful too.the place is beautiful..your meal is lookig delicious.every thing is perfect.have a safe and nice journey.

Your first selfi is awesome and the selfi with Bianca is so sweet, always like her sweet smiling it looks like to me she is so happy with you. Thanks to share your beautiful day and enjoy more.

Fruit taste better here and I suspect it's because it ripes on the plant/tree itself.

I think you are completely right about that. This huge cathedral looks amazing. I definitely wouldn’t miss it.

Haha, we have missed it :)

I love travel bloggers who explore more and more new places, food and culture.

Hey @exyle I will recommend you to plz add rating of places and food you eat. This will help many people to judge places, there culture and food as well.

Cool place.
Fun to see the dish seafood mix with red meat.
Good stuff.
Keep on postin'

Thanks!

Stunning views! The food looks awesome as well. It is very cool when you can find a city that has so many different cuisines from other regions.

This is where most Steemians will end up in 2025 :)

Not ruling it out at all - And if it's not this island in the sun then it could well be another!

Fruit tastes better here and I suspect it's because it ripens on the plant/tree itself.

I noticed that on leaving the UK too and agree that fruit is much tastier here and in warmer climates.

Have a good day guys, I hope you are finding time for the Brazil game! :D

That rice look super delicious. I am on a five day visit to Warri. I would not call it a holiday spot but it sure feels good to travel to another town for a couple of days.

i am having so much fun just relaxing and attending the activities for Steem Camp Nigeria.

Good way to blow off 'steem' before i go back to reality.

The Full Platter of Food was Awesome @exyle. Good Choice to go to Sleep and get your rest too...................

Seven years to earn enough Steem to buy a house on Mallorca (although that's not how I would spend it) sounds good to me @exyle.

Something I read yesterday mentioned twenty years and that, sadly, would be simply too long I think.

That dinner looked particularly yummy! 😁

Thanks for sharing your vacation! It is good to get away!

It sure is! Hows the Mickey situation?

He has been seen running between the kitchen and garage. I will buy more traps. Mice are like hunting ghosts.

Great dreams for us fellow steemians- hopefully we can end up living in that paradise island. The food looks delicious, in fact everything there looks good-just makes me wanna visit and experience it first hand. Keep having a great time on your holiday :)

Amazing pictures of Mallorca..brings back good memories of when I last visited 5 years ago. If you are into bird watching and scenic views you can head north to Port de Pollença, it is a beautiful area too.

Thanks for the tip, don't think we can make it though. Today is the last day.

Hi Exyle. Glad you enjoying yourself. The South African food experience sounds really good. Our food is based around meat and sauces. It is good to try different things and not so surprised to see a South African restaurant there as so many people have left this country.

fruits are veryy healthy and yummy especially these in your plate haha 😂 btw you are looking so energetic ... May God bless you keep enjoying ...

This has been a great vacation already! The African food looked amazing. Plenty of food for two! You sure you don't want to stay longer?

Now I wish I could stay longer. I'm finally settling in :)

"Turns out this particular mountain also had some spectacular houses attached to it as well.

Okay, that sounds Awesome!

Some amazing, beautiful cliffs and views around Mallorca.

That was some quality time spent in those pictures. Food looks great too.

The South African dish looks really rich and delicious , I can see from your smile and that of Bianca that both of you really enjoy the meal
