A day out with the Dolphins.

We booked on one of them boat trips that claim to take you to see the dolphins, but they can't guarantee that you see anything.
The first photo shows us going out on this one hour their and back boat trip.
After being out for an hour and listening to the boat owner tell us he had a feeling they were out here somewhere, as the second photo shows he found them.
We where with them for about half an hour and then to our and his amazement up came a blue whale with a young as photo four shows. It did not stay around long and i only got two photos of then. We where out for about two and a half hours, best value boat trip we have had.

HOTEL DUNAS IN CALA MILLOR

Yours truly outside our hotel, fine hotel but everything was German orientated. We found Cala Millor was full of Germans but Cala Bona a 5 minuete walk down the front was full of English, at least we talk to each other.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG, THIS IS ME AND BEV.

Welcome to my blogger,this is me and my wife Bev.

The first part of my blog is going to be about our holidays abroad,I hope you find it as good as our holidays have been.

We started going abroad after getting fed up with the British weather and I got fed up with driving, we went to Devon and Cornwall for years don't get me wrong that part of the country is fantastic the beaches and the views are out of this world, but when it rains it becomes the same as being at home and you don't want that when you have saved and looked forward to your week or two weeks holidays.

Our first holiday was to Majorca, it was fantastic, we had been bit by the bug the rest is history.
