mostly sunny, 34 degrees, humid
Last night the ship had some
mechanical issues, so we were a couple of hours late leaving the last port.
That caused us to be late arriving at today’s port – what was planned to be a
late morning (tour not leaving until 9:40) we didn’t g
et away until about 11:00.
Our first stop today was at a at
Naveta des Tudons which is a funeral monument from the time of the Talaiotic people…the
same ones we visited an archeological site of last week. Compared to the sites
we visited last week…there is not a lot to this one. Plus, because the tour set
off so much later than planned it is HOT! And with very little shade at this
time of the day. This monument was from about 3,000 years ago and is the oldest
roofed building in Spain.
Next we were on to taste a bit
of cheese and wine. We were at Hort Sant Patrici, a rural hotel and resta
urant that
makes its own cheese and wine. There was a nice garden we could have walked
through, but the heat and lack of shade made this unappealing. We scrapped the
walk and got another glass of wine from their café.

The last stop today was to the Mascaro,
shoe factory. We had just got ourselves a little snack when the tour began…Chris
went on the short tour, I relaxed…I was able to
find a pair of shoes I liked!

On the way back to the boat we
did a photo stop at the citadel and then we were back to the boat.
By the time we got back to the
ship it was about 4:30, so we had a snack from room service and relaxed before
dinner...good thing there is no lack of food here!
