Well what else to do with a day off sailing ! So we went on a bit of an explore round this small seaside town, and we found an aquarium!! In our excitement we headed straight in, it was a very small version of the Deep in Hull, but with different tanks showing the different marine environments in the national park – fascinating. We are still not too sure if we like aquariums but the accompanying descriptions were really interesting all about the underwater world here and on Isla Cabrera. When we finished the aquarium we went to the top of the building where there were amazing views across the sea to the islands. Apparently this part of the world has been used as a trading post since 4BC when the Phoenicians came to trade around the islands off this part of Mallorca! (you learn something new everyday).
So – what to do when you realise you’ve missed breakfast because you were in an aquarium and you are too early for Spanish lunchtime – go for a chinese of course !! We headed to the chinese restaurant right on the edge of the marina with fantastic views and enjoyed a set meal, trying to remember the last time we had a chinese, which was possibly in Cottingham when nephew Oliver was a baby … 4 years ago !!!!
We spent the evening watching the tourist boats come and go from the jetty just opposite the boat which is always fascinating.
