Mallorca pt.3

 These are some of the last pictures I got before it down poured for the next two days.

This picture is from the other side of Magalluf where i stayed. Again I think I snuck into some secret private resort area through the palms.






 This was a mountain bike trail that led into the mountains of Mallorca.


 At the end of the trail. Not that high up, but still above the tree line.

The closest beach is Magalluf where I stayed, and the farther beach is Palma Nova where I went hiking where the aquarium was.

Mallorca

This was the same trail I went on last time but this time i went along the beach. The pictures are not in order.
This is a random grocery cart impossibly lodged in the rock.


These are cool pictures I took while climbing on the bluffs. If I went with anyone I would have never found all the cool stuff I did and seen all the neat sights.

Me looking down when it probably would have been smart to be thinking "dont look down".


This is is a nice shot of my zit. I swear it was bigger and brighter before the salt from the water dried it out.

Me conquering the bluff.

Mallorca

For Easter break I got the cheapest ticket I could find to somewhere hot, didnt matter where. The flight to Mallorca was about 27 Euro there and 7 euros back for a total of about 50 dollars. Found a cheap hotel for about 33 euros a night with an all inclusive option for 22 euros a day. Didnt take me long to find out that I could just walk into dining room and eat all the shrimp I wanted without anyone asking if I had a bracelet or not.





Took a bus to Magaluf which is about the southwestern edge of Mallorca. A huge tourist trap as I had rapidly realized with all the surprisingly annoying and obtrusively loud British people. I had scheduled a couple hiking trips in and around my hotel area and the beach area. And when I say "scheduled" I mean I took the liberty on my own accord to hike the coast which seemed to walking in the back yards of some private bungalows.

All the pictures here were of the first trip I took. I actually did this twice on two different days because I had forgotten my camera the first time and saw way to many photo opportunities. Luckily I got the pictures when i wanted them because the first two days were the only decent days the go out, the others days were full of torrential downpour.




This trail was really nice because it went along the whole coast of Mallorca with rock formations on one side and the sea on the other. I have some pictures that I tried to show how I managed to find places of the beaten trail which involved climbing up bluffs and along secret beached in coves.
