Guess who's back! (Back, back, back again... okay no).
So it's been a while since I've written a blogpost, but now I'm back home and ready to continue this blog.
I went to Mallorca with some friends to celebrate finishing high school and had some amazing photo opportunities while I was there. If you read my post about my love for photography, you will know that that made me very happy.
Day one:
Day two:
The next day we went to Palma de Mallorca which was only about 45 minutes by bus from where we were staying.
We started at the Catedral de Mallorca. The cathedral was on top of a small hill and from there you had a beautiful view of the gardens, sea and the other side of the island.
Then we walked to the city center to have a look around. To be completely honest mostly to shop. After our shopping and sightseeing (there are so many nice little alleyways in Palma that are not touristy and very beautiful), we had a drink at a local bar and went back to the hotel.
I'd recommend, if you are planning to go to Mallorca, you go to Palma de Mallorca. Not to shop, but to just walk around and turn right and left here and there to get the real feeling of the city, instead of the tourist feeling.
Another nice thing was that in El Arenal, where our hotel was situated, everyone spoke German or English and you hardly heard Spanish. In Palma de Mallorca on the other hand hardly anyone spoke English, so you had to communicate in Spanish. Which will sound horrifying to every non-Spanish speaking tourist, but for me, having had 5 years of Spanish class at high school, it was a dream come true to finally being able to use the things I'd learned.
Around 5 o'clock we went back to El Arenal and chilled at the beach for a while. After we had dinner we watched the sun set and it was beautiful. (Another great thing about Mallorca, the sunsets were incredible each and every night we were there, so if you are a sunsetlover like me, you'll love this place).
Day three:
The third day we went to Cuevas de Drach, the caves around Porto Cristo.
Thinking it would only be about a 30 minutes bus ride, we stepped in the bus and sat down. After about 45 minutes we figured out that we calculated the time completely wrong and we ended up driving for 1,5 hours to get to the caves which were apparently on the other side of the island.
When we finally arrived at our destination, we got our tickets and went in the caves. They were unreal. The size of the cave and the thousands of stalactites and stalagmites were unbelievable.
After the walk and a concert in the caves, we went back outside and wandered around for a bit. We spotted a man standing on a cliff a bit further away and decided we wanted to do that as well. So we began walking over the rocks along the seaside and eventually came at the cliff. The view and surroundings were absolutely beautiful. The seawater was bright blue and green, and the plants and rocks looked like they were supposed to be on a postcard you'd normally sent to your family with the message: "This isn't what we saw, but apparently it should be like this...".
After we had lunch on the rocks, we went back to the busstop, only to find out that we just missed the bus back, so we waited 2 hours in the sun just chatting about everything and anything.
After the same 1,5 hours back we went to the beach to relax and enjoy the sun and slight breeze.
And after dinner we saw yet again an amazing sunset (they just don't get any less pretty, even if you see them every night...).
Day 4:
We didn't really do anything special that day haha. We just chilled on the beach and walked along the shore for a bit, because it was our last day there.
So I'll leave you with a few more sunset pictures (Why you might ask? Because I really like them and they were fricking nice, okay??)
Now I'm back home I'm planning to get more into blogging, so if you have any ideas you want to see me blog about let me know!

P.s. I know there are a lot of pictures in this post, so sorry if your phone, computer or internet crashes haha.
