Thursday morning (it was pouring rain and 8°C) I got on a plane. When I got off the plane two hours later, it was blues skies, sunshine and 25°C. Location: Palma (de Mallorca), capital city of Mallorca, largest of the Balearic Islands (which belong to Spain) in the Mediterranean sea. A place with a long and colourful history (let me just mention: piracy!). It was just a short trip - just an extended weekend - but it was soooo lovely.
My husband had to work, but I had time to wander around the old quarter of the city, enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful architecture. I will share some more pictures in the next couple of days.
Now that I am home again, wouldn't you know that it's raining?

Nothing like blue skies, water, and green to lift the spirit. Great pictures!
Ah, that explains it! I am so glad you were having fun in the sun. I was just talking with my dad about Mallorca - his best friend lives in a gorgeous old Finca and my dad gets to visit regularly - lucky duck! These photos make me want to visit, too!! Love, Silke

Happy Wednesday!
Happy to see you finally found the sun.
Your photos are just gorgeous, blue sky, water, orange tree, great week end for sure.
In western coasts of France, the week end was exactly the same, extremely hot and sun shining.
Oh that looks so refreshing. It's good to get away like that every once in a while. Hope the sun comes out soon!

Ooooooooh, Renate, ich kriege Sehnsucht. Wir waren vergangenes Jahr in Fornalutx und wenn ich diese Bilder sehe, will ich einfach nur in den Flieger steigen. Palma und Umgebung ist so schön. Trotzdem schön, dass Du wieder da bist, habe Deine Posts vermisst:-)
