Paddling Bears

There were times when our progress along the cami was quite slow as we found lots of interesting rocky inlets to explore such as this one ...


This was definitely a bear sized harbour and it would be great for Eddie's seal boat. We also took time to swim out to that interesting large rock perched out to sea. Unfortunately we couldn't swim with our climbing gear, otherwise it would have offered a great face to climb.

As we got closer to the next resort of Son Bou we found we had reached a huge sandy bay and it was possible to paddle along at the water's edge for miles. We love splashing about in the sea, feeling the wind in our fur. As we got closer to Son Bou, the simple beauty of sand, dunes and sea was rather marred by some rather unsightly tourist hotels. Unfortunately there are quite a few of these in Menorca, which is a shame when you consider the spectacular natural beauty of the island. We would have preferred some rather more sympathetic developments, but the good news is that the Menorcans seem to have seen the light, and there are plenty of lovely hotel free bays on the island.


Much more aesthetically pleasing was the traditional Menorcan gate that we are sitting on. There are lots of these on the island and they are very charming.

Back soon.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx

Fred thinks those Menorcans had had a few too many glasses of wine when they made those gates. Hic!
