Palma de Mallorca


The very last trip we took was to Palma de Mallorca. Mallorca is an Island off the coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. Justin and I left early in the day and met Megan, Sarah, and Shannon who were on a later flight. Justin and I walked along the coast and found a restaurant to eat at. It had a great view of the sea as we ate. Many of the restaurants had menus in German because Mallorca is a big tourist spot for German people.

The next day we met up with Sarah, Shannon, and Megan. We walked to the beach by our house. We relaxed on the beach and kicked around a soccer ball. It was a windy day and too cold to swim but I was able to dip my feet in the water. The water was really wavy which was great for all the kite surfers. It was really cool to watch them because the wind would pick up and the surfers would fly in the air.

The Beach

We decided to find a better beach on a different part of the island. To get to the other beach we hopped on a bus. We weren’t 100% sure if we were on the right bus. We got off where we were told to get off. It was kind of in the middle of nowhere. After waiting for a long while another bus came by and took us the rest of the way to our destination. 

Making Sandcastles


The wind had picked up even more and the skies were dark. This beach was in the shape of a horseshoe. The sand here was a lot nicer, but the waves were double the size. We hungout here for a while and then tried to find our way back.

We got back, Shannon and I shopped around a little bit. Then we all got back together and found a Kebab place for dinner. Afterwards we played cards and monopoly deal. It was a great night filled with lots of laughs.

Palma de Mallorca wasn’t what I was expected. Since it was an island and south of Spain I thought it would be a lot warmer. I expected to be tanning and swimming. Even though that didn’t happen I still think it was a great spot to go to as our last weekend trip
