Majorcan Blog No 10:

So we had to go into Palma to find the British Consulate.  Trying to find your way in a strange city is always tough, especially if you are driving but we had a great set of directions and our faithful satnav also helped, but it still was a real challenge.  The consulate was hidden on the fourth floor of an office building down a little alleyway.  The staff were helpful but what a palaver!  It costs around £65 just to get an emergency form and takes at least an hour once you get there.  I wouldn’t recommend it…

We then thought we would experience the big city and see what Palma had to offer, but frankly having allowed ourselves to slow down the way we had, we didn’t really enjoy the bustle.  We had the opposite experience from our fab time in Pollenca, the places we stopped to eat and drink lacked charm and taste.

We left just as the weather broke and struggled to find our way out of the city.  Back in Pollenca the weather was lovely again, found a great oriental restaurant for our final evening meal.  We lunched in this beautiful little cafe in a small square at the bottom of a long flight of stairs that leads up a chapel called Calvary.

The journey home went without further incident and now we are back to the building site we call home, trying to re-engage with all those little tasks that are required to get us back on track, including posting all these blogs!
