Last day in Cala d'Or

Its our last day so we went down to the beach for a quick paddle, we had to dodge a lot of small children. Then a frappe-latte in a beach bar before setting off to find a small hotel near the marina that we stayed in  a few years ago when we hired a car for few days to see this part of the coast. It is still there, Fowlers Hotel and owned by the same British family. We met the current owner this time, he has been there for 29 years and the business is still doing well with regular guests booking every year. It has not changed, Harrods bar towels and all, a little bit of old England in Majorca. We decided to have a nice lunch for our last day and Rosemary found a good 3 course lunch menu at Port Petite restaurant over looking the marina.

It's been almost freezing on shore and we could see the snow falling on the hills all around. We had a very close pass of the seven sisters waterfall during the sailaway. There were not many on the top deck for the sailaway party and we saw the waterfall from the warmth of our cabin. We were looking forward to a drone display just before midnight but unfortunately it was cancelled b...

After a smooth North sea crossing we docked and were up at 7:00 on our wedding anniversary. We all met in Bacio for a last coffee before disembarking and driving home via M&S foodhall at Coventry.  Mark and Christina were home about midday but we arrived home around 2:30 and will not be opening our cases until tomorrow.
