where do i start...



reached majorca about noon time. went for quick lunch, then went to walk around e coast. but apparently, it was like going to e uk. finally settled at macdonalds where it was really nice, affording a great view of the sea. saw these 3 kids (feral indeed!), having fun. they took the macdonalds paper boxes and plastic bottles, and were having so much fun throwing them INTO THE SEA! and their parents didnt intervened. one thing i noticed about majorcans (?) is that their kids are very naughty and their parents seem to give in a lot but they turned out really, quite proper. e older teenagers never seem to have e same attitude problems of the English (fucking awful and badly behaved).



check out these shots of the most wonderfully beautiful windows i saw in majorca. they're really balconies (dunno e name lah) and all windowed up. i duno y cos the weather's really q clement in majorca but perhaps to avoid the red dust from north africa that blows across from e seas.









i took this shot next to a cafe by LA SEU, the cathedral that's really quite famous in majorca's biggest city, palma. gorgeous cafe. i live to travel to cafes around e world. hehe. i wouldnt mind just hopping from cafe to cafe even when i travel.





check out e details on e door of the cathedral. gorgeous. i havent seen such details in many other continental european cathedral b4.

behind la seu, the cathedral, i saw a relaly nice courtyard in a residence. see e arab influence. well, they were run by e moors from 900 to 1200s (i think).



typical street in palma's old town:narrow, 5-6-storey buildings, balconies sticking out all over e place
anyway, from what i remembered, e 1st day at palma was spent just walking around. it was during e xmas period so many shops were getting ready to close. but e siesta time was strange. from 2-5, everone disappears off e streets and suddenly, u know u're running around in a world of tourists, tho not that many. after all, it's off peak season in majorca.

ok, so wha did i do during that siesta on tat day in palma?

went to dunkin coffee!



then after siesta, everything opened once again. this old town' mostly made up f streets; not quite many shops so dont expect much shopping. but really loved e SPANISH PEOPLE!
