Kan butiker heta vad som helst? Vad för kunder lockar ett sånt namn? Can stores be named anything? What attracts customers to one of with this name? (Pitt=the male thing in the middle of his body) |
Here it is ok to fart? (fisa=fart in swedish) Wonder how it smells on this bar? |
Vi besökte naturligtvis Drakgrottorna i Porto Cristo. Dessa fantastiska grottor, juste upplysta och med båtar på undervattenssjö. I en av dessa satt en orkester och gav en kort konsert. We visited the course the Dragon Cave in Porto Cristo. Magnificent enlightened caves with under water lakes. A short concert from boats. |
Back in Palma, we went in the old very narrow streets, cozy atmosphere, a bit like Old Town, Stockholm. |
En populär plats att äta på var Placa Major, när vi tog det här kortet sken solen, när vi skulle äta regnade det så det fick bli inomhus. A popular place to eat was Placa Major, when we took this card the sun was shining when we should eat, it rained so we couldn't eat out. |
Even in Mallorca there were human statues, at Placa Major, Palma. I could never manage to be so still. |
Precis som i Barcelona fanns det många vackra hus i olika stilar. Här kan man snacka om utsmyckning. Så läckert. As in Barcelona, there were many beautiful houses in different styles. Here you can talk about decorating. So nice. |
This house was in typical Art Deco and had a fantastic ornate embellishments. Mallorca seems to have avoid demolition craze as in Stockholm in the 60s. |
Spanjorerna är lite lustiga. Här har man ett fantastiskt träd. Vad kan det vara? Där finns en skylt..... The Spaniards are a little funny. Here we have a fantastic tree. What could it be? There's a sign ..... |
And the explanation are. The tree is unique and it is forbidden to walk on the lawn. |
När vi passerade Placa Major på söndagen hade man satt upp högtalare och dansade avancerad tango i arkaden. Se filmen When we passed Placa Major on Sunday they played music in the arcade and were dancing advanced tango. Watch the movie |
We didn't bathe in the sea, it was quite cold in the water. It was empty on beaches except a few brave who was sunbathing. |
Här var det fullt med folk dagtid men tomt på kvällarna. Svalt på kvällarna, men jämfört med hemma var det ju varmt. Kortbyxor dagtid, tunn tröja på kvällen. Here it was full of people during the day but empty in the evenings. Cold in the evenings, but compared to home, it was hot. Shorts during the day, light sweater at night. |
The Mallorcens take care of their trees you can notice in this picture. You can't get past on the inside, but they still allows the trees growing through the sidewalk. |
Men att var på Mallis och inte bada gick ju inte för sig. Det var ju kallt i havet men ett bassängdopp kan vara skönt. Lurad! Man tempererade inte utomhusbassängen så det blev ett kort dopp. To visit Mallorca and not taken a bath are impossible. It was cold in the ocean but a pool swim can be great. Cheated! They didn't heat the outdoor pool so it became a short swim. |
Siwan chickened even more, she took a bath in indoor pool, where it was warm and comfortable. Thought of taking a sauna bath, too, but 150sek was to much. Especially when one sauna of two and the jacuzzi was broken. |
Ut på vägarna igen, nu gick färden söderut. Vi behövde aldrig tanka, då bilen var fulltankad och drog väldigt lite bränsle. Med tanke på att alla lägger ner mackarna i Sverige, vore inte det här ett alternativ. Större behövs ju inte! On the road again, this time we traveled south. We never had to fill up the car it was fully fueled and took very little fuel. Considering that filling stations in Sweden are shut down, would not this be a option. We don't need bigger! |
Now, all the cyclists left the mountains and sems to had a big meeting, but it was just to annoy us. |
Ni kanske undrar vad mallorkinerna gör på siestan. Vi vet vi råkade titta in i trädgården. Inte vilar dom inte..... You might wonder what mallorkins do on their siesta. We know, cause we happened to look into the garden. They are not resting..... |
We, who are older people with a young soul really enjoyed staying in Magaluf. It was party until 06.00. If we come back it will probably elsewhere on the island. :-) |
Har aldrig sett så många skinkor. Man är verkligen tokig i dessa. Man om man nu köper den i Palma heter den fortfarande Parmaskinka? Have never seen so many Parma hams. They really crazy about them. But if we buy it in Palma called the still Parma ham not Palma ham? |
Finally, we wonder why they stopped with that tray at the front of shopping carts? Especially now that we finally understood what it was for! |
Mallorca var en mycket angenäm bekantskap, vi återkommer gärna, men som sagt inte i Magaluf, åldern tar ut sin rätt. | Mallorca was a very pleasant acquaintance, we will be happy to visit again, but as we I said before not in Magaluf, age takes its toll. |
