The Magic of Majorca
The sun was shining and we couldn't be happier to be here! The hotel pool was the perfect way to cool down and we loved playing games and practising our swimming. 
It was time for our best Robin Hood impersonations down at the archery range. Over the week we had a few attempts and we got better every time. The activity team presented us with a certificate for our efforts.
Raring to go we headed down to the harbour where our glass bottom boat was waiting for us. We boarded our boat and headed along the rocky coastline Santa Ponsa. The views were breathtaking. Luckily for us we stopped off in a beautiful cove where we were able to jump off the boat and swim in the crystal clear water. It was an amazing experience being so deep in the water with so many fish swimming around us. Drying off a little we then went down to the bottom of the boat where we looked out of the glass bottom and got a different perspective of the wonders of the ocean.
Beach days are the best days and luckily for us it was only a short walk from the hotel. The water was crystal clear and we could see small fish swimming around us. We even challenged ourselves to a go on the paddle board. Good balancing skills were needed!
Like proper tourists we caught the bus to Palma, the capital city. There were plenty of bars and cafes for us stop for a drink in the sunshine before we just wandered up and down the cobbled streets of Palma taking in the sheer beauty of it all. In the heart of the city stands the magnificent 14th century cathedral known as La Seu and, as the most emblematic building in Mallorca's capital, it’s a must-visit. It was impossible to miss this imposing golden sandstone building: it’s one of Europe’s tallest Gothic structures, perched above Parc de la Mar and a superb sight for those arriving by sea. We watched the cruise liners moored up in the harbour and we all wondered how they moved as they were colossal
We stopped at the local market, which was vast! There were lots of stalls selling fresh fruit and vegetables, meats and cheese, jewellery, clothes and other homemade trinkets. We enjoyed browsing and picking up some souvenirs to take home for our friends and family.
The evening entertainment was fantastic. The Mongolian dance troop amazed us with their dare devil routine.
We had a great afternoon watching a cocktail making class before sampling a few special concoctions from the bar.
