 12 students/friends, 3 cars, 2 walkie-talkies, white sandy beaches, rocky cliff faces, historical castles and cathedrals, peaceful villages, a warm shining sun.....you can only find these in the beautiful island of.....

MAJORCA!!!!!

I know it has been a long time since we went to Majorca and it's a bit late to blog about this now...but please let me explain! I've been waiting for the final batch of photos (which I still don't have yet) because someone is lazy to send them to me....I was planning to wait for those photos before I upload everything all at once. But it's been way too long now, I am fed with with waiting and I know if I don't start uploading the photos I already have, I will forget about them soon...So, here is the Majorca album part 1...ENJOY

Next stop - Cuevas del Drach (The Dragon Cave)


What are these called? I forgot...never paid attention in geography class...


The random stranger who took the photo for us must think we're crazy....



The famous Spanish paella...OMG, that was the tastiest paella EVER!



The is the restaurant where we had the paella...It is in a town called Portocristo where the cave is located. We were driving around looking for food after visiting the cave and we stumbled across this lovely little place....We were the only customer there so at first we were doubting whether we entered the wrong place...the owner then gave us some olives which tasted very bitter. At this point, we were quit sure this is a "black shop" HAHAHA....however, when our starter came, we were shocked....the muscles we ordered was so tasty!!! Then the paella came and we were even more shocked!!!! oh man...it was the best meal ever....At the end, the owner gave us some "Sumo" to drink...HAHAHAHA....icing on a cake



Oh I love the freedom I get when I'm in control of the car....driving to wherever I want....


Palma Nova with rainbow


Random fairywheel




Next stop - the creepy village of Orient....This village is so small we were told only about 20 people live there...Despite this, there are 2 restaurants and 1 hotel there...
(These are only photos we took on our way to Orient...I will upload the photos of the village later)


After we escaped from Orient, we drove back to the main town, Palma. This is what we came across...The Ku Klus Klan?? HAHHA....Nah, they look very similar to the notorious KKK but they are not. These are the local catholics celebrating Easter. The parade was quite interesting.


We bumped into the others!!! What a suprise!!!
