This was our first family holiday abroad and we visited Port d'Alcudia in Mallorca. It was a totally new experience, from flying, to stepping off the plane at 1 a.m. and being hit by the heat at that hour; to the white sandy beach, the safe, shallow water of the Mediterranean sea at the resort and the glorious (hot August) sunny weather; to new found food in paella, calamari and ice creams with names like Frigo (Wall's), Camy (Nestle's) and the local Mennorquina; "pop" with the name Kas and Spanish beers like Estrella Damm and San Miguel, but more German beers like Krombacher, Erdinger, Bittburger, Diebels, Warsteiner and a whole host of others; and to big hotels and apartment blocks. Oh and, for me, a new bus operator by the name of Autocares Mallorca (before being entangled in the vines of Arriva plc). That small, but mixed fleet, even had on-board bus stop announcements (something we can hardly manage here today!). |

No 32 (PM-4524-AH) of A.M. is a Setra coach and was used on the long sceinc journey from Pto de Alcudia to Pto Soller and is pictured on the quayside at Pto Soller. This driver was an excellent driver and person. His return journey finished at the Marina in Pto de Alcudia, but remembered we had boarded at Ciudad Blanca and took us (and only us)back there.. 1672x1180 Alcudia_4.jpg 2009-01-25 15:58:32 Buy Print |
