Mallorca : lousy day & Cala Torta (14-15/08)

Next day, we tried to go around biking, so we take the bikes, a bike path to Pollença, supposed to be very pretty (the little we saw was indeed), and 4 km from the house, I just happen to have around 20 pins stuck in my tyres ... Not to mention the way back walking (of course no phoine network where we were to call the bike shop) while Benoit was going home biking to try to find some tools. we then had to wait the bike shop opened again to call them (siesta between 12 and 15) so that they could come pick them up. The bonus is that they never told us we'd be charged for it ... Well they did (bastards).




The day being really wasted, we were not in a super mood for the party at the finca this night, which was the departure party of Anne :). Thing is the boss of the funca transformed it into a party for him as well, so he invited few of his friends. So half the people didn't know the other half... but between some presentations of some of these guys and a movie about a amazonian tribe, the evening went well. Towards the end, without expecting anything for the rest of the night, we found ourselves going to Alaro, where they had their fiesta del pueblo, so crowded we had to park 2kms away from the center of the city.

And there was so many people there, dancing, enjoying the DJ music (which sucked :P) that we forgot all the rest of the shitty day we had, apart at the moment where it started to rain on us for like 15 minutes, just time to get soaked... Just a reminder I guess. Refreshing though. Then back home, 7am, dancing in the car, and everybody off to bed.

Next day, we want to make it a big day. We decide to rent a car and head to the north of Mallorca, to go to Arta and the beaches around. Hitchhiking to go the Port d'Alcudia, a guy take us there in his van, nice guy, and when we go off the van he says ok go to this agency and say i told you to go, they'll give you a discount. How cool is that.

Unfortunately, apart from a Mini and a Jeep, there's not much choice, so we rent somewhere else a Polo (yeah baby yeah). We then head to Cala Mata through Arta to picnic, so cool place, but the darkness is coming upon us.

We head then to Cala Torta, supposedly the most beautiful around, and we see this guy with his car stuck in the sand... At that time of the day, there's nothing to do but leave it and sleep on the beach. So they did. And we went for a walk on the beach, great views at the end of the day!
