Day 16 of the Adventure.... November 4, (Wednesday).. Port of Call - Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Here is a place that has even
@JenniferS trumped when it comes to the unnecessary use of letters in a word. To begin with just in the name Mallorca, the first 'a' is pronounced as an 'i'. Then it is followed by two LL's, both of which are silent. Tell me that isn't messed up. Why even have one letter, much less two, and then have them silent.
Truthfully, that is the only thing that I could find seriously wrong with the place and I can certainly see why so many filthy rich people spend their winters there. It is really a modern, warm and inviting place to be. We, again, didn't spend a lot of time there. We mostly just walked around the waterfront and a few side streets to get the feel of it. I guess that by that time we were both getting a little traveled out. Still glad we went there, but, we really didn't have a lot of time to just explore or any idea what to explore. I'll share a few pictures so you all can get some idea of the appeal of the place.

In the interest in saving a little time and space November 5th (Day 17) and 6th (Day 18) were "At Sea" days in route to our next port of call. At around 5 PM on the 5th we passed by The Rock Of Gibraltar. Not as close as I would have liked, but, they wouldn't let me drive so I had to do the best I could.
