Wednesday 23 April, 31st wedding anniversary

At Palau March on our last day in Palma

It's also St. George's Day and Shakespeare's birthday today. We celebrated last night but Laura also gave us a card and Joan sent a card via Laura. We packed and checked out, then left Hotel Saratoga to visit another palace, the Palau March, near the cathedral.

Outside there were sculptures by Moore, Hepworth, Rodin and others. In the house were some late works by Dali and some very nice models of figures at the nativity and other scenes of life. We also saw some medieval maps of Europe.

In Jardi del Bisbe

We strolled in the direction of the hotel, calling in at the Jardi del Bisbe, and then stopped for lunch at an outdoor bar. We all had chicken and mango kebabs. There was a wandering band playing nice jazz tunes but I didn't give them money - maybe should have. We don't get that in Switzerland.

Back to the hotel to collect bags and get a taxi to the airport. We were very early. Laura said goodbye and we read until we could check in our bags. Then we waited ages in departures. The flight was fine, and we had a sandwich and drink. We got home safely and it wasn't too cold on our return to Thalwil.
