 Buenos dĂas (Good Morning) đ Â
The âBlind Sightseersâ have arrived in Minorca! I love the way weâve had 3 different languages in 3 days..Italian, French and now Spanish! đ Â
Today was a beach break on one of the south coast beaches. Letâs hope itâs a relaxing one but you never know, lol!Â
On the dock…
After another lovely breakfast đĽ we headed out onto the dock to get the coach.Â
The beach…
This beach was much easier to find (unlike the one in Corfu) and Sarah instantly walked across the sand and into the sea, yay! đ Â Â
 Sarah then came back and found a place to put our towels, sit and put our bagsâŚThen walked straight back into the sea! đ Â
 Although it wasnât really a hot sunny day and it was very windy and cloudy, i still was boiling and had to go for a cooling off. đ Â
 We had a lovely time although sand blasted and totally covered in sand. it was a lovely place and it was good for me and Sarah to chill out for a while. đ  Â
 Back at the dock…
After a quick refresh on the ship we were sand free and ready to explore. The main street ran parallel to the ship so we couldnât get lost. We found a few shops and in one of them Sarah found a lovely necklace, yay! We continued walking up the street until we reached the end. âOoooohhh palm treesâ i said. Â
 The cafe and the storm…
 The black clouds were moving in quickly so when we found a lovely cafe i said âAs these tables are 3 deep and completely covered, if we sit in the middle the rain will never get us hereâ. We sat down and waited for the waitress.
And then…
Iâve never witnessed rain like this ever. It gave no warning and came down (sideways) very hard, very heavy and very fast! Even though we were sat a long way from the end of the shelter we were getting soaked. The waitress ran out collected something off the tables and ran in. I thought âSheâs done this before, lol! Sarah grabbed me and we flew inside.Â
The whole point of coming to a cafe in a Spanish countryâŚWas we wanted to ask for ‘Patatas Fritasâ. Sarahâs dad and brothers spent a lot of time in Spain and can speak fluent Spanish, so when the waitress came over to ask us what we wantedâŚBoth Sarah and i said ‘Patatas Fritasâ. The waitress looked at us and said âSo you want chips!â âšď¸ Although we didnât get the Spanish languageâŚThe chips didnât disappoint.Â
We could still hear the thunderous rain storm outside and we had to get back to the ship soonâŚI think we were going to get soakedâŚ.We did! đ Â
On the ship…Â
Wow what a beautiful sunset… Â
 Yay we finally have a photo of my lovely wife Sarah in the evening restaurant and sheâs wearing her new necklace!
 Now we know why this ship is called the Thomson Majesty..Such a beautiful piano set in a lovely part of the ship with my lovely wife Sarah (meaning Princess).
 The Blind Sightseers have had another lovely day exploring yet another islandâŚAnd although itâs the end of this ‘Treasures of the Mediterraneanâ Cruise itâs not they end of our monumental tour during this lockdown.Â
So letâs jump from this Thomson Majesty ship onto the Marella Discovery. Thomson were also bought out by Tui and now the ships are called Marella instead of Thomson.
I wonder where this ship is heading??
To be continued…Â
