Majorca

3.30 in the morning is never a good time for an alarm clock to go off, but today we are heading to Majorca with 60 others from the Verulam cycling club, and the flight is at 6am.  It would have been nice to have been in bed early the night before, but I didn't finish work until 9pm, and hadn't had chance to do any packing, so it was midnight before we got to bed.

The flight was delayed 2 hrs and then getting out of Palma airport was pretty challenging, goodness knows what it is like in the summer peak season.  We didn't get to the hotel until 3pm.  No time for an afternoon nap,as originally hoped for, it's off to the bike hire shop instead!

We did a leisurely 6 mile ride to test the bikes, and only minor adjustments seemed necessary. 

Saturday night is tapas night and the food was pretty amazing, carbo loading needed for the morning!

Some of the rooms in the hotel are mountain view, some are sea view, but we found we had frog view room

And these boys can make some serious noise.  However, by the time we got to bed it was after 9pm and we had been up for around 18 hours, so despite the cacophony of frog noise outside we were asleep in seconds!
