Bad boy for not posting
I took holidays so I've not posted much. Just back from Majorca. Food poisoning was not top of my favourite things to do on holiday but I still managed it :( Still a bit cramped but everything else is normal, ie nothing running out of both ends. We did loads over there most courtesy of Dave Cooley (Cheers Dave). Quick highlights: Sa Dragonera with the Mirador and little lizards, Palma in an empty gay bar at 7am -it was empty and we were with girls so no conclusions to jump to there, the most important part was that it was OPEN! Waking up Adrian to get my laptop at 9am while drunk-SORRY, grovel, Sorry. Getting soaked kneeling down taking my first proper photos of lighting in a raging thunderstorm. Eating chickn curry in an Irish bar in Palma (MacGowans) after another storm, despite the wait for it. The winding roads up the northwest coast to Valledemosa and Soller. The tram ride was cool but spoilt by the fact that because Dave's mum went to the loo before it came, Dave and his dad ran to get her on and didn't make it back in time as it pulled off. We couldn't exactly jump off with a buggy and baby so stayed on. We both felt crap that it was only us so we went back on the returning tram. The tram was still cool, but would've been better with all of us. At the bay across from Illa Magrat, Adrian (I did the trip over with him and Dave- remember ?), Noel and Alan went snorkelling. I'd a sore elbow so just paddled about a bit. I'd never snorkelled so was a little nervous about swimming the distance too (my swimming breathing technique is crap so I can't go great distances with out stopping). After a while we (Cyn, Adrian's fiance Trish and I) saw the three of them running up the hill on the near island! I got lovely shots that day and great fun. I did buy a mask and snorkel in the pool for a bit. I was just about to go out to the pier near the pool when my leg cramped so I didn't risk it even though I really wanted to. Matthew splashing and swimming in his floating ring. He can move fast for his size!Lowlights: Food poisoning for one. Luckily it was on the last night. The €65 to see a doctor didn't help either. We had a late flight on the Tuesday so had to hang around the pool after cancelling our planned daytrip to Formentor due to my state. The 2nd thunderstorm as we went into Palma to sightsee was a downer (or a drowner on some of the roads). Larry, Kitty and Dave missing the tram was another lowlight.
So mostly good and a few bad. I should add the weather was only average- 2 full days of sun, 3 cloudy, one overcast and 1 thunderstorm. Enough for a tan topup though!
