This morning we woke to a very overcast day and after doing a little packing in preparation for our departure tomorrow we were undecided what to do. The car was filthy from the previous nights sandy rain, so we originally thought about getting the car washed but after checking the forecast, it had given out 80% chance of thunderstorms. So a dog walk was decided upon, as we prepared ourselves to go the sun popped out, resulting in it being to hot and humid for the...

I've been promising the kids a surprise this week & tonight is the night. First it was Sunday Lunch at Nelsons, a lovely little restaurant in Son Vitamina in the middle of nowhere. However it is now that popular that booking in advance is essential and the only way to get a table. Hence me booking our table for 4pm, four weeks ago. We had a very warm welcome on arrival and the dogs were served with drinks ( a bowl of water before us!). Even the chef came out ...

After some well earned sleep I was the first to wake up, Siesta Mar serve breakfast from 9am - 11am. So after walking the dogs I went for breakfast alone. I just couldn't wake up Vicky & the kids from their slumber. Dinky and Toy were happy to see me on my return as I bought back sausage and bacon to have with their dried food. The others however were still fast off, not surprisingly after the lack of sleep from the past few days. But they all soon rose out o...

En-route to Cala'n Porter from the Port of Mahon we gave the dogs a well deserved toilet stop. Conveniently we parked up at end of the runway at Mahon airport, a poor excuse to fit in a little aircraft spotting! Finally at 8AM on Wednesday 26th August, two and a 1/4 tanks of fuel later & 1153 miles clocked plus motorway tolls totalling at £86 we arrived in Cala' n Porter :) We promptly checked in to Siesta Mar apartments and luckily after contacting them la...
