Final Friday

 It started wet cool and windy on our last full day in Cala d'Or. Undeterred we set off for Cala Ferrera beach for a morning swim. We were surprised that we were the first to arrive and we had the beach to ourselves for most of the time we were there!

 By now the sun was trying to shine and it was warming up but we had the pools to ourselves as well!

It looked like every one else had decided to try the dotto train! It has a very low Trip Adviser score as it is very disorganised! Paying the driver takes ages and there is no one to manage getting on and off. Time keeping is not its strong point.

They should have used the excellent local buses wich are flat fare, tap on and tap off. When the Steeles used the service they were impressed that there was a facility to tap on and off more than once for multiple passengers on the same bank card

The afternoon was back to wall to wall sun and warm, if a little breezy for our last bit of pool time.

After dinner alook around the shops

A game or two of ool

and say good bye to the pools!

Leaving the hotel Saturday morning at 08 20 for a lunchtime flight back to Gatwick. Should land mid afternoon and hope to be back on the island early evening.

Beach Thursday

 We are not lying around in the sun folk, but we spent most of Thursday on the beach, First the younger ones wanted a swim off the platform into the deep sea off our hotlel.

Then off to our favourite beach, Cala Ferrera where we hired base of loungers under umberellas and the kids had a go on a peddalo.

Got here early before it was too busy!

Unusually for us we went back to the beach in the afternoon, by now it was fairly busy!
