Mallorca, Chasing the Sun

I spent a long weekend in Mallorca. When my friend said his birthday was in February I asked if I could take him out for dinner and quickly added, “or do you want to travel somewhere to chase the sun?” The sun has barely showed herself this winter in the Netherlands and I needed some vitamin c. We had amazing weather! Karma. Good karma.

Mallorca is an island within Spain’s Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. Since it is a summer destination it was fairly quiet but it was so nice not battling other tourists. I visited here in 2019 with Travel Buddy Steve as well. 

Over the four days Lisa, our lime-green Mini Cooper, drove us around the island taking in the sites. As with Steve, I was fortunate Oliver took the wheel while I half-attempted to navigate while soaking in all the beauty outside the window. Mallorca is surrounded by beautiful beaches as well as mountains to the West. The weather was around 16-18° daily (63°f) which isn’t swimsuit weather but we did find ourselves basking on the beach to soak up the rays a couple of times. 

Next winter I will plan a couple of sun-seeking trips as the lack of sun this winter is getting a little long. But I am so looking forward to living in Den Haag this summer and frequenting Scheveningen beach with Gabby (my bike) just ten minutes from my home.  

I hope you are surviving your winter and looking forward to the world erupting this spring as well.
