Dead center of Palma

Ventured out o the City today.
As my last blog may have referenced there are a lot of rules to abide by whist on board. Which is understandable as she is a very expensive floating piece of pleasure . but man, its all new to us !

So yeah nice to take the car and Drive. there was a wee interior motive thought..
CAMPERS factory store. Shoes and lots of them! we did show some restraint and only got 1 pair each.... BUT! it is only an easy 25mins drive. ekk.
That was Saturday and if that was a great day! Sunday was AMAZING.
Crew outing.....
Captain Trevor's choice. and did he do well.


This is the place you see Rick Stein visit in his Mediterranean series. THIS was better then meeting God last weekend. The Drive alone was something else, the fields of almond trees precise and green in fields of brown...till we reached the turn off. ever done that drive from Queenstown to Cardrona, going up the hill that bends on itself like 10 times, 20k, don't look down one? The Drive was like that but like 100 years old, and in the real world a one way. Lined with hand made stone walls and olive trees with trunks the size of a Kauri tree... that old! (thankful for the flaming coffee/ rum/ sugar/ orange concoction making the journey home that much easier)

I was swept away reaching the top. cliffs surrounded the place and smell of sheep's poo over whelmed the nostrils.(the only thing up the top, so you better bloody like eating lamb) We were their early so was not too busy, time to chat with the staff. Got myself a tour of the kitchen.... chatting up the old fella. don't think health and safety gets up there much. never the less the food was tasty. Paul ate Snails,yuck! and we had a dish of livers to start, yum! which is saying lots cos i don't like them usually. and then 9 lambs!
Sorry Mr Burrill, this woodfired oven kicked your ass. the 75 year old women(she only came up to my shoulder!) must have had 10 trays of... mmmm probably a whole sheep in one, on the go. Apparently(as translated in my best Spanish) they boil it for 24hrs then finish it in the woodfire. my goodness what a feast, crispy skin like nothing else, fall of the bone, fill flavored SHEEP! big serve of potatoes(good like they had been cooked in sheep's fat) and salad, 12euros.


A nice break from the RULES!
