valldemosa

after visiting palma on the cost we went up the mountains of the north of mallorca to soller. we actually never made it there but instead visited many other smaller towns and one particularly beautiful called valldemosa; small and quiet! definitely more of our type of place. in this town we saw that the back tire of the scooter had two big lumps. this made us choose smaller roads to get back to porto colom. driving at high speeds in the fast highway would have been very dangerous. we were actually lucky we did not have an accident on the way there. imagine that… having sailed safely through pirate waters and end up in an accident in a motorbike in the highway… rather pathetic. But nothing happened and we had a not so urban route back to port. small towns and countryside views.

palma really has it all: beaches, great ports, big cities and small, historical sites and architecture and even their own language which is not like Spanish; at least we could not understand. thankfully everyone also spoke spanish, so communicating was not a problem at all.
