Balearic Bears

Yorkie and I enjoyed our winter survival skills course, especially in retrospect. It was cold though, so the prospect of spending a few days in the sun, in the interests of doing some more research for the Friendly Planet Guide, was very appealing.

We therefore persuaded our minders to book a week in Menorca, the week after Easter, when it would be nice and quiet and prices were still cheap. Almost before we knew it, we were leaping into a rucksack and heading for Luton airport at 5.00 a.m. on a foggy April morning.

Ours was an early flight, so by mid morning we were bowling along the empty Menorcan roads in our very cute and bear friendly Renault Twingo hire car, en route to our apartment.


We found the apartment easily, and no sooner were our bags inside, than we were studying the information pack in our living room, while we waited for lunch to be prepared and the beers to chill.

Our apartment was very fine and on the ground floor, with a private patio and garden. As we slid open the patio doors we could tell we were going to enjoy sitting out in the sun with a cold drink and a good book.

The swimming pool was in view and we only had to go out our garden gate and up a few steps to be there and what a lovely pool it was ...


You can see from our edge of the seat pose that we could hardly wait to dive in.

Our first impressions were very good and we felt it in our fur that we were going to have a good week.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
