It was more beautiful close up, given that the area we’d seen yesterday was at the top of the cliff, with a series of steps taking us down to the waterfront and the little beach today.
After having a snoop around Cala Barques and Cala Clara, enjoying the beautiful seascapes with a kaleidoscope of clear blue water, lapping rocks, ancient ruins and the white sandy beach, we stopped at one of the restaurants, Niu, for a coffee. Fortunately the onshore cool breeze helped keep the temperatures at bay as well.
For lunch, we returned to street level and enjoyed a tasty meal at the Marina restaurant, although there wasn’t a marina anywhere to be seen. We were early enough, though, to get a table on the balcony to enjoy our meal in the cool breeze, following which it was time to catch our return bus.
Back onboard by mid afternoon, we whiled away the rest of the day doing pretty much nothing, except read and chat to Elaine’s sister, Dianne, after her dad had had another episode this afternoon while in the hospital. Things were definitely looking rather precarious on that front, but all we could do was hope and pray he makes a recovery, once the doctors figure out what’s causing all of this and that he gets to go home soon.
A light dinner, in sweltering heat, after the wind died completely, brought our day to a close.
