Gill and I have been to Palma twice before, the first was on a day trip from the north of the island and a mixture of train times and small grandchildren meant we did not get into the Cathedral.

Last year we stayed on the boat and allocated a day in Palma to do the sights. Unbeknown to us it was Assumption Day (we should have assumed), therefore a bank holiday and everything was closed. Third time lucky – today we managed to get into the Cathedral (long queues on account of two cruise ships in port) and the Mallorca museum which was empty (cruise passengers don't do museums). The cathedral was impressive, the museum had a great many religious paintings 1500-1800 which are not our thing but some excellent tiles from around 1900, the sort that would be put on buildings and in shops.

Unfortunately we fly home tomorrow and our life of luxury will come to an end as will the sunshine as we understand it has been raining at home – hee hee. I have attached a few pictures of our home for the past week, it is bigger than our house, if you include the crew quarters (there are no crew) then it has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and all the important gadgets – a dishwasher, washing machine, a fully equipped kitchen, a huge ice making machine and two drinks fridges so you are never far from a cold beer.
