am now in beautiful but oh so HOT mallorca - flew on a new airline (for me) called flybe from Exeter in Devon - full of brits going on holiday - lots of kids who screamed (mostly in delight) at both takeoff and landing - christopher and miranda and i went to a wonderful italian (!) restaurant and then i passed out in a deliciously air-conditioned room (tried to go without but it was just impossible to sleep)
the first day in mallorca was SO hot (i know that i said that already) that i didn't even go in the pool as i could not face going into the sun even for the 20 steps or so to get poolside - there was no breeze and that made it seem even hotter - reminiscent of SE Asia where you just sit somewhere and feel your clothes getting wetter and wetter with sweat even without moving an inch
the next day there was a delicious breeze which made everything much nicer - we went out on christopher's extremely sexy boat to a lovely cove and anchored for some swimming and snorkeling followed by a yummy lunch - heaven!
