Considering we’d had quite a full-on day yesterday we were surprised to be wide awake at 0800. We took the dinghy ashore in search of just a little more water for the tanks, and a coffee. We walked up the beach and came...

The plan today was to go into Palma (which is 45mins from Pollença on the bus) as we need to buy a water tester so we can see what’s going on with our water maker. After having breakfast however we realised we...
