Palma de Mallorca


Derick and I got to go on an awesome vacation this July. We went the week of my birthday so I turned 22 in Spain! YAY! I just made this blogspot, so sorry you couldn't see and hear about it until now. We went to Palma de Mallorca, a little party island off of the coast of Spain. It is absolutely amazing there! I think the pictures will talk for themselves. We stayed at a resort that was about a block from the beach, we had a nice view of it from our room window. Our resort was all inclusive, which was nice because we didn't have to spend extra money on meals and drinks. They even had yummy cocktails at the bar that were included! YES!! We stayed for 7 days, and it was just so awesome! We are used to cold weather in Germany, the hottest it gets during the summer is maybe 80-ish, so it was really warm for us in Mallorca, in the 90's. I got a nice tan, and Derick got sunburnt! We will never forget our trip.

On the third day, we decided to go for a bike ride and ended up riding for 24 kilometers. It was crazy long~ but so worth it! We rode into the capital and saw the cathedral and rode back. 24 kilometers= about 16 or so miles. Yeah, our legs hurt!
The next day, we decided to be more adventurous, and we tried to find these cool underground caves. We had to take a bus to the train station, ride the train to another bus, take a bus to the middle of nowhere and then .... Well, we ended up walking for an hour and a half and not finding the caves! We stopped at a little hotel and called a cab back to the train station. I was so pissed that there wasn't better transportation out to these TOURIST caves! I mean seriously, if you want people to go, why don't you make sure they can get there? We aren't from there! SHEESH! Needless to say, our legs hurt that night too.
The rest of the week we laid around on the beach and drank cocktails by the pool. We truly had an amazing time and we will never forget it!
