Palma de Majorca

The day after La Spezia, we were at Toulon, France. After our long day on the ferry, we decided to just relax and stay on the ship. We enjoyed watching several boats being removed from the water for the winter. It was a slow and complicated process.

The next morning we didn’t dock at Palma until nearly 11:30. Dan needed more cough syrup and I was interested in seeing the cathedral, so we took a shuttle bus into town. It stopped fairly near the cathedral. There was an information kiosk so we stopped to ask about a farmacia. Yes, just a couple of blocks that way. After getting the cough syrup, we headed back to the cathedral. There was a lovely tree-covered patio-like promenade that we could walk on. 

There were mobs of people at the cathedral. The ticket booth was around the back. I was hot and tired by then, so sat on a wall in front while Dan went to get the tickets. Unfortunately, it was a very long line. He came to get me and we went back around to the entrance. It was worth the wait. The cathedral was built in the 13th century, very Gothic. Yet very Spanish in comparison to what we have seen in Italy. I took lots of pictures. The walk back to the bus stop was long and hot. Back on the ship we had some late lunch and packed up our suitcase. We leave it outside our stateroom tonight and it will be delivered to us at the pier tomorrow morning.

This was our last day on the ship. Sunday morning we arrived in Barcelona, where we spent three nights. More on that tomorrow.
