Having visited the largest city on the island, the humans then concentrated on the coastline. They treated this like a project or military campaign, listing the places they wanted to visit, checking them on the map and in the guidebook, then grouping them together into "tours". The first tour was through the Tramuntana mountains on the north-west coast, from Pollensa down to Valdemossa, which was a scary drive with stunning views of the mountains and coast. It was at this point that we discovered that Carlos has no head for heights, so he spent most of the journey distracting himself from the scary views by listening to Bev's iPod. On the other paw, we bears loved the views of the deep gorges and high mountains, and had an excellent day out. We stopped at the pretty village of Fornalutx, then we drove on to Deja and Valdemossa. All in all, it was a good day out - Paul loved driving on the mountain roads, Bev and Paul took lots of photographs, Bev's mum enjoyed seeing a part of the island she had never seen before and Carlos enjoyed listening to Treasure Island on the iPod and his lunch in Fornalutx. So, everyone was happy - what more could we bears ask for?
The photograph above is of Valdemossa, and the one below is taken along the coastal road leading to Valdemossa.
