Sept. 10th – Today we are in Palma de Mallorca. We met Liz and caught another taxi tour of the city. We went to Castell de Bellver, a Gothic style castle on a hill built in the 14th century. The castle is one of the few circular castles in Europe. We had a fabulous lunch at St. Ambros Trattoria y Café and I posted a picture of Susan and Liz toasting each other on Facebook and a friend commented that she had stay a week in an apartment by that restaurant. What a coincidence. Then we visited the fabulous church, Cathedral de Santa Maria de Palma de Mallorca begun in 1229 and finished in 1601. The height of the central nave reaches 44m, the highest of all Gothic cathedrals. Antonio Caudi worked on the church from 1904 to 1914. Then we rode the shuttle back to the ship, rested awhile and then had dinner with Liz, Patt and Shirley. Tomorrow is a day at sea and we are on our way to Toulon, France.
I have tried to post pictures on my blog and it is almost impossible. I will keep trying but I have posted pictures on my Facebook page. Last night I tried to email them to my computer guy and they wouldn’t send. A very nice young man in guest services tried, unsuccessfully, to help me send the pictures.
A relaxing day at sea sounds good. You’ll hit the ground running in Toulon. It’s frustrating when photos won’t post but don’t fret about it – I enjoy seeing photos but I also enjoy your comments just as much without them. Keep on writing!
