As promised, today’s update will be short. We woke up at 9, but then dozed til around 10:30 to recover from the last few days. We got ready, had a little lunch at the buffet and then headed off the ship at about 1:30 pm.
This was the one port that I didn’t make any plans for. It looks like mostly a beach island in the Mediterranean with nothing too interesting as far as history or notable things to see. It was a mistake not having any plan at all. Kory will remember today as a death march in the heat. We walked about 3.5 miles in the three hours we were off the ship. It was a long walk along the water to get to any civilization. Then we were just looking for the local pastry that you can only get here, “Ensaimada.” It is basically a flattened cream puff like pastry, but without the cream. They did have with the cream in the middle so I got that. Kory got a caramelized cream and coconut topped one. You can get them with other flavors, or plain too. They were pretty tasty. Then we just wandered the narrow streets with tons of stores for a little bit before we cabbed it back to the ship.
We went to the spa and got passes for the Thermal Suite. It is a really cool area with saunas, relaxation showers, hot stone beds and a hydro therapy pool. The pool was the best part with a bunch of different areas to lay or sit with water jets blasting on you. We’ll probably hit this up again in the next few days.
Then it was off to dinner. We ate at one of the two main (and included) dining rooms for the first time. It was called “The Manhattan Room,” and was really huge. We got seated at a great table near the back of the ship. There were windows so we could watch Mallorca get smaller and smaller in the distance as we sailed away. Dinner tonight was fairly normal, nothing exciting. We both had the stuffed chicken. Then we went to the “Burn the Floor” show. It was excellent. Great dancing with all different styles and quick changes. Now off to bed before Barcelona tomorrow. So excited for Kory to see it!
