Galva šiandien ištinus. Ryte dar buvo jėgų užsilipt į Puig de Maria, bet iki vienuoliktos gazas išsigaravo ir net kelios kavos ir pietūs atsigaut nebepadėjo. Viskas per prailgusį vieno gėrimo prieš miegą savaitgalio pabaigai užbėgimą į U Gallet barą. Nuobodžiaujantis savininkas Niel ne tik pasidalino priešsezoninio darbo nuoboduliu, ateities planais ir miesto biurokratų įpročiais, bet dar ir davė džiazo taškydamasis igūdžiais pilstyti ir miksuoti, o galiausiai ir pats prie mūsų prisijungė. Prisitsvanksėjom už visus sėkmingus išūkius dviračiais, už Sauliaus gimtadienį sausyje, už manąjį po keturių dienų ir už lietuviškų žodžių sąrašą ateičiai. Nebuvo dar Neil sutikęs lietuvių.
MALLORCA: TYMPINIAI vol.1 Bernai pasiorganizavo padorius dviračius ir prisijungė prie minios tympinių sukt aplink salą kol dar ne per karšta. TIEK dviratininkų vienoj krūvoj būna tik per renginius, o Mallorca kaip dviračių maratonas atrodo kasdieną, tik visi važiuoja savąją distanciją ir finišuoja baruose su dar keliom kavos ir torto pertaukėlėm tarpuose. What's not to like.

MALLORCA: TYMPINIAI vol.1

Namas Pollenca, vienam iš tų gražiųjų miestelių Tramuntana priekalnėse, bet kad būtų arti dviračių nuomų uoste ir pasirinktų maršrutų iššūkiams - check. Viskas nauja ir visai kaip holivudiškam romcom'e šalia mažos parduotuvės šviežiai bagetei pusryčiams, kavai Calvari laiptų papėdėj, vakarienei pagrindinės miesto bažnyčios šešėlyje ir nesudėtingam žygiui į Puig de Maria. Tarpais sunku atskirt, kur sapnas, o kur realybė.

MALLORCA: TYMPINIAI vol.1

Du nauji šio karto atradimai: Santa Catalina rajonas aplink to paties pavadinimo maisto turgų Palmoj, ir nuostabus kelias gilyn į iškyšulį už Alcudia iki Ermita de la Victoria, kitoj Pollenca įlankos pusej nuo Formentoro. Tympiniai šituo įlankos kraštu važiavo, kol stuktelėjo į karinės teritorijos vartus, o mudvi tik pasisukiojom greičiausiai ne vieno tako papėdėje (kitaip iš kur tie visi batuoti žmonės grįžinėjo). Reiks grįšt.

There are holidays one spends half year planning and there are getaways so effortless one almost feels guilty it happens. Mallorca became of the latter ones to us - almost like a weekend in the hometown. One goes there because it is not terribly exciting, you know your way around it and, although usually slightly boring, still has the potential to surprise one. To summarize – quiet time but not tucked in on the sofa.

We did not need to wake up at the ungodly hour to get to the airport (thanks haven for City airport), but were in Palma early enough to have 3-day weekend. Within the first half of an hour forecasted rain had vanished into digital abyss and we were left to roam the seashore for as long as we could bear it.

AIR WE GO AGAIN

Then the usual Palma, Deia, Port Valldemossa with a little bit of less usual Pollensa, Banyalbufar & Estellencs had happened to us.  All very quiet, all left to locals.

Flights City to PMI with BA on STA Travel; Hotel Marina Luz half board double room with pool view for 2 nights £123; Es Baluard museum costs s much as you think it is worth on Fridays; Mini convertible for 2 days 60eur+40eur on petrol; Lunches, coffees & drinks ~ 200eur

It feels like hovering over a mug of freshly brewed jasmine tea in Mallorca now. The tree that is currently blooming here must be some distant relative of the tea we so like. The scent is especially vivid after the rain and there was no shortage of it. In fact, we only saw clear sky once we landed back in the UK. Ha! Go figure! The weather had it's last laugh on us.

We got over the fact neither shorts nor shades will be of any use by the first morning and once we've swallowed that, the weather no longer mattered. We drove convertable, we enjoyed meals and coffees on the enclosed terraces, we embarked on long evening walks and managed to survive without umbrella and without being drenched. London training, perhaps? :)

Mallorca is quick forget-it-all getaway for us and we are developing a pattern: the same area, the same hotel, the same car rental company... I doubt it will cease to be favourite as it already feels like coming back to somewhere we know very well... No planning involved, no thinking required. We know, what we like best and head straight there - the mountains in the west. Any place/port/village between Estellencs and Sa Calobra can put anyone off holidaying anywhere else (at least) in Europe. The life there doesn't change that much. It's determined by the season and subsequently by the lack or excess of holidaymakers. The less is more to us here. We love deserted resorts. We love to have promenades to ourselves. We love half empty restaurants. We love going anywhere off-season even if it means the weather might be not as expected. We can (and do) adjust our expectations accordingly.

It's a shame all courteous and good looking guys from Marina Luz's staff were gone (that can serve as the only consolation to you, Gitana!), not that the (less appealing :D) girls were doing any worse. On all other levels the hotel remains as good as it was last time and I would happily return here once again (even though oldish German tourists will not turn into humming and blooming beautiful crowd ). This time hotel came as a bargain at £300 for HB in pool view room for 3 nights. We also happened to notice another possible choice for place to stay further along the shore towards Palma.

The Best Coffee prize this time must be given to Cappuccino in the town of Valldemossa. We were put off by it's location (on the main drag) during previous times, but had to thank the inclement weather and allow our jaws to drop on Sunday. Place to return, perhaps even for a meal, once passing.

Something-Fishy award goes to-ooo... Es Port in Port of Valldemossa. It's a must to feast on fish if you are by the sea, but God help should you find yourself in this tiny village with this sole restaurant in the middle of summer. Though it will be worthwhile the waiting, providing you are not too hungry and can wait, as your reward would be fresh out of the sea. Go for it but be warned, their card machine rarely has a signal. Good old cash will save the hustle going to the nearest cashpoint and it is a LONG (although beautiful) drive to it!

The Dessert of the Weekend must be the Orange Soller in The Village Café of Deia. Yummy, not too sweet and, although ice cream based, not too cold even for a rainy afternoon.

Ryanair delivered us there and back for £200; we've spent 10eur on a return bus no 21 journey airport-Can Pastilla; 2 days in convertable Peugeot 307 60eur + 30eur for petrol.

Ir kur tu cia zmogau nesidziaugsi. Kai ketvirtadienio ryta kopem trapu, Londona eilini karta merke lietus, o paskutines savaites karsciu nebuvo like ne zenklo. Tiek nedaug truko, kad mergaitiskoms trumpoms atostogoms butume pasirinke vietini skrydi ir angliskas salas. Kaip loterija su oru cia, ir siuomkart, deja, butume tik lietaus puoda laimeje, o maudomus ir skrybeles butu teke i lietpalcius ir skecius isimainyt (kas siaip jau irgi nera blogai). Tik si karta ne to norejom. Kuo daugiau saules, kuo greiciau ir nesvaistant ne minutes.

Patikrintas marsrutas i Mallorca'os Can Pastilla, nebandytas, bet idealiai tikes, viesbutis Marina Luz (maistui didziausias pliusas, o vokieciai kas ryta turbut uzimtu ir sesiskart daugiau sezlongu prie baseino net nemanydami jais naudotis iki pietu :D), geras pusdienis ant dviraciu po sostine ir dvi dienos sukinejantis vingiuotais keliais po kur kas grazesnes vietas nei pajurio kurortai.

Keturios dienos praleke kaip viena. Be rupesciu, su daug juoko, kalbu ir net siokais tokiais nuotykiais (jei kada nuomotoj masinoj rastumete besimetancia 'prikurke' butinai ikiskit ja ten, kur priklauso, - didelis sansas, kad gausit dar geresni auto).

Pirma karta ir visiems laikams isitikinom, kad siltoms atostogoms nera geresnes masinos, nei masina be stogo. Kaip svajone is vasarisko filmo, kur dangu uzstoja tik skrybeles krastas. Pro ta skrybeles krasta beigi akinius nuo saules Cap Formentor, Sa Calobra, Port de Soller, Deia, Port de Valldemosa ir pacia Valldemosa apziurejom. Tikrai! Net trecia karta butu visai smagu ten vel atsirasti. Tai gal kada...

ON A LONG LEASH ALONE: O GALEJO BUT VISAI SLAPIAS SAVAITGALIS ANGLISKAM PLEZE

Piniginiai reikalai - highest season metu, likus 2 men iki datos- skrydis su ryanair dviems £276, viesbutis 3 naktys HB £479, nuomotas smart'as dviem dienom 112eur (koks 30eur kurui), du dviraciai dienai 10eur, o visa kita - zuikio asaros.
