It might sound strange but neither Tanya nor I have been to a typical sun holiday trip like this. This is our first time at Mallorca and it is easy to see why it is a popular choice, especially for families with small kids.
It can not be much easier – eating, playing and resting is all within reach without any hassle. There are even personnel taking care of the kids for a few hours a day if the parents would like to do things on their own.
Even we as two adults who are able to organize things on our own and often need more stimulation than food and beach, can certainly enjoy it now. It suits us fine this week since this lack of organizing duties is in contrast to our first two weeks of holiday. Another benefit is that you get more interesting in “normal life” where there is a bit more of action and things to achieve later on, after the holidays.
So, what do we actually do these lazy days? Typically waking up around 9, having a massive breakfast, getting ready for the beach which is 5 min of walk from the hotel, spending the next three hours at beach, getting back to hotel, time for lunch, bringing our language books to the pool/garden area, studying an hour, fitness room for Jonas and beach again for Tanya, dinner at the hotel buffet, going for a walk and maybe staying out at one of the bars.
Yesterday evening there was a Beatles show at one of the bars nearby, a Swede (John) and an American (Paul) were entertaining and did it very well. It was an interactive show and the audience could request songs and give other types of input. Far better than expected.
