Mallorca










What a relaxing week! 

We seemed to miss out on Summer this year, with heading over to Australia, and Phil travelling. So this was our final chance to get a bit of sun before the winter sets in! We had a good flight, and got in late, and it was dark. We had a transfer to our hotel, which took about 45 minutes. Thank goodness we decided to get a transfer, and not hire a car. The roads are windy and Phil was certain we were just going around in circles. The hotel was reasonable, all inclusive. The pools were lovely, and we were walking distance to the beach!









For the first few days we didn't leave the hotel. The boys were eager to go to the Kids Club each morning for 2 hours. Each day was a different theme, with different activites. They really enjoyed it. They spoke mainly German as most of the kids were German at this resort. Mallorca to Germans is like Bali to Australians. In the afternoons we either went to the beach, or stayed near the pool. 

Each day was about 24 degrees, warm, but not enough to get sunburnt! The food for all meals was terrific and very fresh. Each night was a different theme. I think we all enjoyed the seafood night the best!









Each night after dinner. We would settle down into the bar area of the hotel. We took a few games with us, and played these while we waited for the kids disco to begin. The boys enjoyed their cocktails (non alcoholic of course). Each night, the staff of the kids clubs held a mini disco for the kids. The songs were Spanish, French, German, Italian and English. The kids had a great time. After the mini disco, there was a show for the adults and the children. One night we had an acrobatic act that kept everyone amazed. It was a great way to end the day, and the boys are getting a bit older to stay up a bit later to watch this sort of stuff!
