Porto Cristo – Mallorca
We watched the sun rise over the cliffs, directly opposite our balcony, on the far side of the harbour. This was at 7.15am after which we slipped into our normal holiday relaxed mode, so it was 12.15 before we got going (I’m being too hard on us as this time did include a café con leche at the local).

Puerto Pollensa 2016
This was to be a holiday of two halves. For the first week, we had the family with us, we were five adults plus our two-year-old grandson Leo.

We jokingly said that we needed the second week to recover from the first.

Mallorca – 2015

Tenerife – 2015
It’s a nice area and as I was going up & not down the views were very different. Felt strong on the climbs and heart rates were very low. Sat for a while in the sun taking in the stunning views whilst eating lunch. Came out onto the Tiede road at 950m and enjoyed the descent down to La Orotava which I last did slowly in the thick wet mist a few days ago. Continue reading Tenerife – 2015
