Day 6 - Mallorca

This morning, the ship docked in Palma de Mallorca on the island of Mallorca. Today's tour was the Caves of Drach. The bus took us to the other side of the island where we toured the caves. Unfortunately, photography was forbidden so you'll have to take our word for it that it was beautiful. In addition to the usual stalagmites and stalagtites, there is a large lake inside the caves where they put on an houly performance with musicians floating in rowboats playing classical music. In Palma, we saw the huge Seo Cathedral which was begun in the 13th centiry and took 300 years to complete. In the harbor at Mallorca we saw the yacht Amadeus, at 230 feet long is the 64th largest yacht in the world. All of the women were looking at the hansome crew of the Amadeus instead of the scenery but, if you look in the background, at the top of the hill, you can see Bellver Castle that was built in the 14th century.
