Todd was up early and washing the boat off with great vigor, and all but the trampoline came back to near white. The tramp appeared to have been stained beyond hope with the red dust from the Soroco’s. I can’t imagine what it will be like if we get caught up in one closer to the desert regions!
We all walked up and found a car rental place, and headed down to the Cathedral district in Palma for a little sight-seeing.
The Millennium Falcon was in port but I could only get a picture of the unique masts.
We had a wander around town before finding a restaurant that had a cool painting of a Toro on the wall, where we had the menu of the day. This was an amazing deal with tapas of chicken salad, olives, cheeses, and char grilled shito peppers ( called something else here!), then a main dish of pasta with a selection of sauces, 3 of us choosing the asparagus and shrimp, and 1 chicken and mushroom. The meal included a dessert and a drink, all for 12 euro per person! (This is by far the best deal we have come across in all 3 seasons).
On our way back we were on a reconnaissance mission to locate the best chandlery to get most of the parts both boats needed. One such place was “expensive and confusing” our pet name for Accastillage Diffusion a chandlery store we were familiar with from Canet that had good supplies. There was an amazing used parts store too that had everything under the sun.
The guys finalized their lists that evening and would head out with the car again the next morning, collecting us girls in the afternoon for a grocery store run. I spent the morning loading photos for blog updates, checking our provisions, and taking a stroll through the village. We didn’t need much from the store expect water, (it seemed our parts per million were creeping up again on the galley tank), a few wines and beers, and a little more fresh produce. Of course, fresh baguettes were a given.
