Friday 18 April, Good Friday

Passeig de Born, a wide tree-lined street

We left Switzerland in rain and arrived in Palma in sun. The taxi ride to Hotel Saratoga took about 10 minutes. Nice room but furnishings rather flimsy. We explored the town on foot. Close to sea and squares. Some shops open even on a bank holiday. We saw some people still in costume after the parade for Setmana Santa.

We had a glass of white wine in the square and dinner in a tapas bar. We shared five tapas dishes and each had different fish. Tomato and garlic were prominent.

Later Laura arrived and has a room near ours.
