Photography: Puerta de Soller

It's nice here...

 

Walking: Far de Cap Gros

A lovely wander through the olive groves....
lotsa exercise, up they big, terraced hills...
& I didn't photograph the bloody lighthouse!
The other lighthouse...

Walking: Torre Picada

A bright, warm, oh-so-lovely day... shirtsleeves & shorts!
Coffee & ensaimada on the beach cranks the engine into life...
then 'ho, for the hills'
(well, back up the hill... then some more hill!)
Not far, but a good stretch... & very pretty going!
Terraced olive groves up the wazoo, of course!...
new to me beyond the confines of classical tales...
but, a rather joyous human landscape!






















 

Mallorca: forced to forrin'

A rather cheeky fait accompli
got me on a plane to Palma...
look on this weather & weep you damp northern squibs!
Toutatis was a good'un!
Then it rained, & we caught the wee wooden train...
as we climbed into the cold, damp hills the windows misted up... 
woulda been better (& a damn sight cheaper) on the bus!
Puerta de Soller balcony view... nice, eh?
