We left in the evening from Zurich, had dinner somewhere near Stuttgart airport and then spent the night on a bench in the part of the airport that was recommended as “calm”. It was – until a group of people arrived and started to play ball!
From Palma airport, we took the bus into the city centre, had breakfast outside and then took the bus towards Santa Ponsa and our hotel. We were given a nice budget room with no balcony and no AC, just a fan. When we complained, we were told we would get a nicer one the next day, and we really did. It had a working AC and a balcony with sea view.
We rented scooters and drove around the island a bit, visited Valldemossa, then drove on a bit but soon decided to stop at the closest beach. We found a place on the map, but when we arrived we realised that we were still about 45 minutes hiking above the beach. Whatever, we parked the scooters and started 🙂
Our beach was Foradada, we stayed a while and then left to hike back up.
On the way home, we stopped somewhere for dinner and had Paella, then bought something to drink in a supermarket in “Andratx” and finally arrived back at the hotel in the dark, thanks to google maps and after a bit of driving on the highway 😉
