Last Day in Mallorca

We finally found another computer!! We have been having such a great time in Mallorca.... and wondered why we just didn´t spend our whole 2 weeks here!! It is gorgeous! We arrived Thursday night in Palma.... very cute, picturesque little city. We stayed in the "Old Town" which has narrow, cobblestone streets. Our hotel there was very cool. We had enough time to enjoy Palma before getting our rental car on Friday morning and heading off to the east side of the island to a town just off the coast in Son Servera. We could not pick our jaws up off the floor when we got to our hotel there. Imagine a bed and breakfast, old stone meets modern country estate. The area was amazing... with a pool overlooking the valley and the neighboring ocean. We planned to check in and go back out in our car exploring the area.. but the hotel was so great that we decided to spend it lazying by the pool drinking cocktails and enjoying the scenary. Today we made our way over to the west side of the island to Puerto de Soller. The drive was crazy to say the least!!! Nikki drove (brave soul) and we had to traverse the winding (small) roads of the Tratamunta mountains!! I took so many pictures while trying to hold back from vomiting!! Ha! And we put the first official dent in our cute Mercedes "mini" rental car! (It´s ok though since they don´t let you rent without full insurance..... we should have been known something was up when they told us that!) But we made it and the view from our hotel here is gorgeous too!!! It´s tucked in a little cove with cliffs overlooking the ocean. We are going to have a drink or two now to relax after our insane drive! Tomorrow we leave to go back to the main land. :( But we are excited to see Granada! I wish this computer would let us upload pictures... but unfortunately not. We hope to write again soon! Miss you all!

BTW they sell Smart cars here did you know that. I saw one yesterday they are about the size of the front seat of your Honda. So you can each buy one when you get back.

Hi there! Fantastic!! That's all I can say, and you know me, never at a loss for words!! I'm having the time of my life reading your blog and all your adventures...especially the winding road trip in the rental car, with the eventual dent in the car sentence! lol....anyway, whoever is writing your blogs should definitely be writing for a travel magazine, for sure! I love the view and I'm having an amazing trip with you while I sit behind my computer and read about your exciting trip. Be well, continue on having a wonderful time and take lots of pictures. Miss you and love you! MOM
