At the top overlooking Port Soller

Our Jet2 flight was half an hour early landing last night. I was so grateful it didn’t go on any longer as we were surrounded by very noisy people. I put on my headphones to listen to a podcast but couldn’t hear it for the racket around me. Roger met us and we had a catch up before bed.

We woke to a beautiful sunny day so after breakfast on the terrace we heading up to road towards the Cuber reservoir and parked about half way up on a bit of scrub.

Roger calls it the fire watcher’s walk as there is a structure at the top from where a person keeps his eyes open for fires or people having BBQ where they could cause a wildfire. The path started quite nicely but soon gave out and then it was a steep stony path. I did struggle as my knee complained but we made it after a couple of hours. We’d made a sandwich which was welcome then after a rest we headed off down. I skidded a few times on loose stones and Carol fell but was ok. Roger now knows my knee issues are as bad as I said so I hope he’s not going to be stuck for ideas for less strenuous walks. We said I can do the distance, and it’s when I need to get my leg up high I can’t get any lift which is very tiring and annoying.

They have a new fancy pool cover which lets the sun warm the water better than if they had no cover. Roger just turned a key and it retracted itself. Mr C declined to swim
but I loved it.

I’ve had my shower and we’re summoned to
another terrace for a G&T before walking down into Soller for tapas. There’s a fiesta happening so it could be fun. We’ll take jumpers and a raincoat as the clouds are building up. Long may the BBC weather get it wrong as they said rain and cloud today and it’s been perfect.
