4th April

An early start and an uneventfull flight to Palma.We even had time for a hot bacon sandwich at the airport. Booked a small van as a hire car from Sixt. Cheaper than a car and better for transporting thr bikes around the island. On collecting the van found we had been given a free upgrade to a very large Volkswagon van. Good if you want to move house but too large to drive around the island. It was soon swapped for something more suitable. We stopped a Decathlon for a new pair of sunglasses for R. He had left his nrw oned in England. Next stop was Lidl in Inca for provisions. Beer ,wine and food safely stored the next stop was Port de Pollenca. We have rented the same apartment we had previously. A few more improvements this year. A new shower has been installed downstairs , a new window in the bathroom upstairs and lots of new pictures. Once we hsd unloaded it was off see Bruce at Pro Cycle Mallorca to collect our bikes. The bikes were ready and waiting for us and once our pedals had been put on we were ready for cycling. A new design of complementary water bottles this year and they include a cover over the top. Excellent for mountain biking. Had a short ride around the town before returning to the appartment fot tea.
