Palma is a cosmopolitan and sophisticated city, situated along a magnificent bay. At the harbourside, a sweeping promenade leads past marinas crammed with expensive yachts to the magnificent Gothic Cathedral. Palma is the capital of Majorca and the balearic islands. Rising in honey coloured stone from the broad waters of the Badia de Palma, this enduring city dates back to the 13th century and is richly studded with historic sites. In the city, you will find a cornucopia of superb shops, authentic tapas bars, cafés, restaurants, shady squares and fountain-ornamented gardens.
Berthed this morning well away from the town, even further than usual.
Weather continues quite superb, light winds and clear skies, it’s going to get proper hot again later.
Morning trivia! a win. Then onto the shuttle bus into town.
Nice walk round, passed the cathedral and up through the town to the main square, then circling round to pass by the 15th century La Llotja with it’s vaulted ceiling and then along the seafront to view the castle.
Then it’s back to the bus for a run back to the ship.
Time for a swim in the pool while the ship is quiet.
Afternoon tea followed by afternoon trivia - another close run thing.
Dinner in the Lido, oriental theme tonight.
Then later it's another try at the movie theme trivia. Once agin it just themed on movies not movie themes and again they are all modern movies, and mostly about series of films we had never seen, not a great result but reasonably good considering.
