May 30, 1969 Palma de Majorca

We arrived this morning by boat in Palma de Majorca, Playa de Arenal in the Balearic Islands.

We are here for some R & R, which everyone needs on vacations like this one.  We spent the entire day on the terrace by the pool at the Hotel Boreal.  This hotel seems to  no longer be there.  A hotel by the same name but on a different street opened in 1970.

Our expenses for yesterday and today total $25.16.  I am guessing that included yesterday's trip to Montserrat, food, and today's hotel.

I just remembered that when we were in Torremolinos I purchased a beach towel.  Up until a few years ago, I still had it.  I do not know what they use for dyes in Spain, but the color never faded.  Amazing!

    It’s true! You did need a vacation, a time where you slow the pace. Looks great.

    A place I too enjoy relaxing in, and away from the touristy bits, there's a lot more of interest to see.

      If we went sightseeing it wouldn't have been rest, lol.

    Out of idle curiosity, do you know how much the whole trip cost you?

      I do not remember what the airfare costs. I do remember that the Eurail Pass was pretty cheap. I took $1200 in spending money. I'll tell you how much I still had when we get to the end.

    What a beautiful beach! Glad you got a chance in between to relax a little. I can't believe how inexpensive your trip was.

    That was amazing about that towel not fading! Certainly would not see that happen these days where I think a lot of companies plan for planned obsolescence.

    I'd love to visit Majorca! Judy was there about 30 years ago and had a wonderful experience camping there.

      It is the honeymoon island, so maybe you can have a second honeymoon there.

      I get behind too. Especially with email notifications.

    Sitting at my desk right now, even though it is too hot outside, this scene looks so inviting. One always needs a time out during their vacation days
