After our day in Palma, we had a lazy day again, with sunbathing, and swimming in the sea. Then on Thursday we rented a car again, a lovely Seat Leon (2008). The car was great, powerful, fast, and comfortable.
We decided to go north along the coast, to see Formentor. Its highest point is 384 m above sea level, so it is quite scary. The trip was not too long compairing to our english-Wales trips. We went to Formentor, visited the lookout place, which was 236m above sea level. Almost double than the Great Orme heights. Then we went up the hill, looked around from another lookout tower, droved in very narrow roads around the mountain.
Have you ever felt the urge to drop yourself down into such a deepness? You may say I am crazy, but standing at the edge of the cliff which has the sea almost 240 meter below made me thinking to jump. Wish I had a parachute :-). This place was magical in every sence.
The weather was great that day, incredible hot 31 degrees. Later on visited Cap Formentor Ligthouse which was quite busy, and we made many pictures. During our drive to the lighthouse we have seen the "hidden" bay Cala Fiquera, which was one of the most incredible thing I have seen so far. (You can see the bay and the sailing ships in the pictures)
After Formentor we wanted to visit Sa Calobra, the famous snake road, which covers 4km distance with 15kms of road :-). Unfortunately arriving to a nearby town Lluc, we did not feel ourselves well, (we got cold, from the air conditioning probably), and the heat was just too much, so decided not to go to Sa Calobra, but head down the south, and visit a famous and beautiful beach instead in Santanyi. Around 2 hours drive, and we were in Santanyi, the south-east part of the island. The beach itself were great indeed, we have swum in the sea, made pictures, went for a nice walk. It was evening when we finished. The car had to be returned by 20:30, and the dinner was only served until 21:00 so we had to hurry.
1. We got lost (we did not take our GPS)
2. We had to go to a nearby city to tank our car (Portocolom)
3. We got lost in Portocolom
4. Found the petrol station finally
5. Arrived back with the car at 20:30 exactly after more than 300km drive :-)
6. Arrived to dinner at 20:45.
It was a really great day.
