Our resort was in Alcudia, in the summer 6000 people stay at the resort. A lot of the local shops were closed and getting a make over for the summer season. Each day we were at the resort more and more bus loads of English holiday makers were getting dropped off. It started getting noisey at night, and we had to queue in the dining hall. I don't think the resort would function well when fully booked.

Day 3 was our attempt at tanning. We sun bathed at the beach in the morning and pool side in the arvo but we still managed to stay white! Our last day was the best - we did a day trip to Porto Cristo checking out the Caves of Drach. On the way we stopped at the market town of Sineu. Along with the traditional market fruits and vege there was also livestock for sale as pets or food I bet. The Caves of Drach were amazing. There were very cool lighting effects to cast shadows on the stalagmites and stalactites which made the cave feel eerie and huge. The caves house the worlds largest underground lake - Lake Martel. We sat infront of the lake for a classical music performance performed on boats travelling around the lake.
On thw way back to Alcudia we stopped off for a photo opportunity at on old Pirate lookout. Back in the day this was used quite literally to keep an eye out for any approaching pirates and to warn people of their arrival.
I've been back in London one day and now I'm off to explore some more of England - heading to the Lakes District tomorrow. Staying with Helen and Chris in a little village called Hawkshead which lies on the banks of Lake Windermere. We are only there for two nights but long enough to give us a taste of the area.
I received a letter from my school principal saying they had received very positive feedback from parents and pupils about me and he offered me a permanent contract! Sweet, Im off probation, so I can stop sucking up to everyone now.
Hoping that my washing dries today as its a quick turn around before I need to pack it again.
NZ teachers - enjoy your holiday!
