Mallorca


Mallorca was incredible. We got there early in the morning on Friday. We had the morning to relax and catch up on sleep and then in the afternoon we had a guided tour of the Old Town which included the Arab baths and the famous Cathedral. Then we had dinner at our hotel and we were sent off for the night with GAs from Mallorca. We had a great time and learned how expensive Mallorca is as well as how even though Ibiza gets all of the recognition for its nightlife, Mallorca can easily compete for this title as well.
The next day, as you can tell from the first photo, we went to the beach. This beach was great: very clean, all locals, water so blue it hurts your eyes and finally perfect cliffs to dive off of into the water. The water here is much different than in Barcelona so we enjoyed spending some time in it. We tried to fit in as best as possible and a few guy friends and I played a header game with a soccer ball in the water and we got increasingly better as the day grew later. We then did some cliff jumping which was fun and not as dangerous as it sounds.
The next morning it was time for us to leave, so we jumped back on the short 25 minute flight to Barcelona just in time to see the final of the World Cup. We were at a small bar with about half French supporters and half Italian. I think everyone in the room was shocked and awed about the Zidane send off. I still find it strange that Italy won the WC without playing that well. When we were in Italy, I thought the US outplayed the Italians. Anyways, this concludes the weekend.
