Mallorca Day #1

Today we flew to beautiful Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands in east of Spain ✈️

Very rough day with an early morning flight and both extremely hungover from our fun last night! We woke up very dishevelled and at 5:30am and had to quickly pack our bags and jump on a 1 hour train to the airport. Jacques needed to spew about half way through the train ride so off we got and back on the next one 😂

Second funny thing for the day was that our passports were locked inside our backpack and we somehow lost the key that opens it. Already cutting it fine for time with the baggage drop about to close, picture Jacques crouched down at the side of the line with our suitcases wide open searching high and dry for the mystery key. To my own surprise I couldn’t stop laughing. In the end he got creative with some nail clippers and managed to cut the zip open 🤣 would have been very funny to be a fly on the wall during this moment haha

Next we get to customs and are told we can’t take water through. Nowhere to tip them out, have to either scull them or go all the way out to the toilets and line back up in the huge line (which we didn’t have time to do). Not want you want when on the verge of being sick already 🤣

Finally landed in Mallorca. After waiting 40 minutes in the sun for our car hire shuttle bus to arrive, we were off. Got a little mini fiat. We hadn’t eaten all day and thought Maccas will be the hangover cure we need right now. Jacques pulled over out the front and I ran in. When I got back in the car with our food, he tried to do a 3 point turn on the road, ended up getting stuck horizontal in the middle of the road because he couldn’t figure out how to put the Fiat into reverse 🤣 luckily the car was so small and he could move forward so traffic could get past us. Picture the hazards on, me running to find a local to help us. A nice guy who spoke barley any English came to the rescue, turns out you have to lift the gear stick upwards to put it in reverse 🤯 very funny

Arrived safely to Cala Dor, a quiet part of Mallorca with stunning beaches. Our hotel is really nice with a pool view balcony. Had a big nap at our hotel then went for a nice walk to the beach and grabbed some dinner.

Safe to say we’re excited to be on a for 4 days of relaxation on an island 🏝️Read more
