We bears and humans stayed in a very pretty house in the village of Pollensa in northern Mallorca. From there, Paul (our chauffeur) drove us around the island in an air-conditioned car, which was lovely as it was almost 40C outside in the sunshine! The whole family spent a day visiting Palma and its stunning cathedral, then they took a ride in a horse-drawn carriage so that they could see the old town - Bev's parents aren't too good on their pins these days and Bev and Paul are getting on a bit, so this was the easiest way to cover a large distance. It was a bit shoogly for us bears, but Bev held onto us very tightly so that we didn't fall out the carriage. Bev and Paul went back again on Sunday morning and had a leisurely stroll round the old town, soaking up the atmosphere, admiring the delightful architecture and taking lots of photographs of the buildings. Palma is a lovely mixture of wide tree-lined boulevards, narrow alleyways, pretty café-lined squares, cool courtyards hidden behind iron gates and art-nouveau architecture. We were all very impressed, but it was time to call it a day when we could hear ice creams calling us from a nearby café.
