| Yalina with her famous daquiris |
There are some disadvantages, however. Well, only one. Nick and I walked from Soller to Deiá yesterday and concluded that it might be the last walk of the season. It is getting too hot for walking for us, though that does not seem to deter the younger of the hotel guests.
We have one British couple here who are determined to complete all nine of my walks listed in the hotel information pack in the week they are here and, by the end of today, they will have done it. The older generation, like Nick and me, prefer to spend the days by the pool, on the beach or on our little boat. Funny thing about boats, isn't it? However hot it is on the shore, as soon as you get a hundred meters or so away, there is a cool, refreshing breeze.
But the best thing about the summer, for
me, is the evenings. I just love sitting under the stars and in the warm until
the early hours of the morning. Nick and I are doing our weekly BBQ and the Bar
Sa Placa in Fornalutx has organised a programme of Thursday night live music
which is pulling in the locals and hotel guests alike. We had the "Old
Cats" last week and the "Blue Devils" come next. The bar owner,
Jaime, has been clever enough to engage the services of one of our employees,
Yalina, a Cuban from Havana, for these nights. She mixes the best Mojitos and
Daquiris in the business. On Thursday, Yalina treated me to her speciality -
Strawberry Daquiri, which was delicious. I can easily forgive her for making me
turn up for breakfast duties on Friday mornings a little worse for wear!
Come and join the fun!
