post perfect.

For vacation (no, a year long vacation in Spain is not enough vacationing) we hopped over to Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands off the east coast of Spain. Landed in the capital of Palma, we were disappointed to find out not only was it raining, we had also entered the unofficial vacation land of Germans (alright the singing Germans playing crazy drinking games on the beach was a bit amusing... but still not the serenity we had planned.)

For the majority of the trip though we stayed in Cala D'or and had two beautiful days of sun. Southeast on the island, this one of the most remote and quiet stretches of beach. We stayed at Hostal de Calavera - which was more like a quaint hotel than a hostal - for 12 euro a night. Legit! Know what's more legit? The scenery!

(PS these pictures are not edited. This is what it really looked like! Not that I can edit that great anyway...you get the point.)




Wandering past this...


... leads to


a completely isolated cove!



The rare times you escape the touristy surroundings of traveling are the most uniquely elating moments.


Oh hey, Mediterranean Sea.



Wow, who gets to live here?



Climbed a rock cliff to scream off the ledge into the clear blue water that didn't end... total relaxation except for excited tingles... coolest feeling ever.




I have never been anywhere that looked exactly like the post cards from there, let alone better.
