….because we found a new boat for the river.
It was heavy rain today and common sense told us not to do a long walk on wet, slippery surfaces. Instead we chose a bus trip to Pollenca. It’s a fairly straightforward journey but, via Palma, it’s lengthy – two hours each way.
It was a good choice, we spent the heaviest downpours on a bus. The rain held off long enough for us to wander around the Port de Pollenca marina where Kim stunned John with her knowledge of the Mallorcan Ilaut before deciding which boat we would most like to take home. Can you guess who chose which?
Next stop, Pollenca, where the town was setting up for a festival. There are many Mallorcan Autumn festivals in November, celebrating olives, pumpkins and rice as well as the Dijou Bo that we visited in Inca, last year.
We wandered up to the old town and walked up 412 steps to the Calvary Chapel with its amazing views. According to Google, there are 365 steps, Google is a big fibber.
We made it back to the bus stop, just as the heavens opened again and were grateful Palma bus station is underground for our final connection to the Soller bus
We’ve dodged the worst of the rain and, fingers crossed, the rest of the week is looking better.
