    Is a single day in Mallorca enough?

    February 22, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    My first ever business trip was to Mallorca. My bosses saw an offer from Alltours, inviting travel agents for a day trip to Mallorca. It would only cost €30 and my time. So, they put me on the list and I had to get to Düsseldorf - my favourite airport (not). As the train route between Göttingen and Düsseldorf is rather not existent, and my flight leaving at 7am, I had to get the last train in Göttingen at 11pm. I arrived in Düsseldorf at 2am and had another three hours until the other group members would meet me at the Check-in. I couldn't sleep at the airport at all, so as you can tell, when Check-in time finally come, I was exhausted and my eyes tiny. We checked-in, got through security and boarded punctually. The plane took off and I immediately fell asleep. After about 2 hours, the silence was over, and I had to enter the bus that would drive us around the island today. Our first hotel we visited was directly in Palma de Mallorca and had a great breakfast. With a bit of energy going into my body, I could follow the others around the hotel, but when it was time to get into the bus again, to drive to the next hotel, I was so sleepy. And I fell asleep asap, only waking for the lunch at the hotel in Cala Millor. After the tour there, we had 5 mins to look at the grey sky and beach. Then we drove back to Peguera, but I wanted to sleep instead of looking outside the window, and actually see something from the island. The last hotel gave us proper dinner and a tour yet again. Then it was time to go back to the airport, fly home and take the three trains back to Göttingen.
    So all in all, I didn't see anything at all from the island but three hotels (the names of them I already forgot). And at least I didn't need to be hungry. I was just tired. All day. So in conclusion: No, I wouldn't recommend doing this.
