Menorca

Although we did a really brief post from an internet cafe in Menorca, we've not really written up too much about the holiday itself. Not that there's much to write. It was a really chilled out break. We booked a lovely villa though the James Villas website and set off bright and early to Manchester Airport. By 10am on the 1st day we were at the villa and it was about 85 degrees! We dumped our stuff and headed into the little town looking for a bit of lunch. Although there were quite a few of the 'photo of plates of chips' type restaurants, we found a lovely tapas bar where we started our holiday in style - grilled sardines, veg 'a la plancha', patatas bravas (of course), and some large, cold beers!

The rest of the holiday followed a very regular pattern. Wake up around 9. Breakfast on the patio by the pool - coffee, yoghurt, magdalenas, OJ.

We then would sit and read for a couple of hours before lunch! Lunch was either some nice salad & cold cuts or off out to our fave place again for more tapas.

Afternoons were spent in the pool - my outlook mostly like this -->
- through my toes - from the lilo.

Evening meal would involve Dan doing his manly duties and lighting the BBQ for some super bit of mixed grill.

We didn't actually go anywhere, see anything or do anything other than this! It was so relaxing I completely forgot about work until we were in the taxi going back to the airport! And it was only a week we were away! How cool!!!!
