The next big "tour" was along the south coast, from Palma to Porto Petro on the east coast. This was fascinating, as you come out of Palma towards Arenal, which is one of the more touristy parts of the island, but the further south you head the quieter and more remote it becomes. We got some stunning views along the south coast, and stopped at a couple of lighthouses along the way. The first one was perched on top of very high cliffs, and the second one, at the most southerly point of the island, was at sea level.
At the second one, Cap Blanc, you could walk down to the water's edge and enjoy the sea breeze and wonderful deep blue and aquamarine colours of the water. Bev and Paul whipped out their cameras and took lots of photographs while Bev's mum enjoyed the sea breeze, Carlos slept in the car and we bears jumped in and out of the waves. Brilliant fun!
We then headed round the coast to a village where we had lunch overlooking a pretty sandy beach and a bay. The sea breeze kept us all nice and cool on what was a very hot day, and we finished our "tour" with a pit stop at Porto Petro and a delicious ice cream by the water's edge.
We then headed back up the east coast to Arta and then took a detour to Colonnia de Sant Pere, a delightful little place that Bev and Paul had found on one of their expeditions. We had a delicious evening meal by the sea shore watching the sun setting across the bay, and Bev took lots of photographs of the sunset. We then bundled Carlos and Bev's mum into the car and headed back to Pollensa in time for cocoa and bed.
