| Sailing to Mallorca Barcelona was wonderful but it was time to venture on to our next destination - the island of Mallorca. We returned to the ship and enjoyed another evening with our newly acquired friends. Mallorca - also spelled Majorca - is the largest island of the Balearic group. It lies about 160 kilometers off the eastern coast of Spain and is a Spanish possession. To see tour map - click here. Palma is the only large city. |
 |
| Touring the Island The island has an area of about 3,626 square kilometers. So, the next day, when we arrived in Palma, we rented a car with Greg and Lurdes and proceeded to tour the island and some of its small villages. The scenery was lovely with poppey fields in full glory. |

Venice. Now on to Rome.
