Am back from holiday!
Hi Bloggers! Hola! I am now back from my glorious holiday in the sun or not so glorious sun as halfway through the two weeks it had to rain and give Majorca huge thunder and lightning!
The scenery was beautiful and the villa we stayed in was brilliant and lovely. We being- Dad, my sister Lou and I all enjoyed being together in it and doing our usual thing of staying around the villa and it's pool in the day and then going out for a meal in Puerto Pollensa which is on the northern tip of Majorca. Puerto Pollensa is a beautiful town with lots of things to do like bars, cafes and restaurants.
We also went out sometimes to explore the island and we went to some nice places where we saw some different things, The places we went to were a glass factory where me and Lou bought some gorgeous glassware, Inca market but the best place we visited had me in tears and I was struck by how beautiful it was, basically we went to the Caves of Ham, and these caves are the most beautiful ever!
Inside the caves when you reach it are some huge stalligmites which have formed some beautiful sculptures and in old times, it was all discovered by a proffessor of geometry( I think, anyway!)and he found the caves over 300 years ago.
You go around these caves and see the stalligmites set to some lovely sound efeects and special lighting whichy lights them up and they all have names like the forest of Angels and such like. The best part though is when you are 30 feet below the ground, they turn out the lights in the caves and they have a beautiful concert in a lake with the name" Sea of Venice Lake".
A small boat is lit up with lights with three musicians inside it, and they turn to face you in the darkness and they play two pieces of classical music( it's almost like a water ballet, but different) and it was this concert that brought me to tears.
But going on holiday made me miss Ouch a bit and I missed the new homepage, but found an internet cafe to look at it, and the other thing I missed was that Mik Scarlet was on You and Yours, Damm!!! I will listen to it soon! Very soon!
Hope you all were okay and didn't miss me but I bet you did! Incidently, I found I had a wierd comment made from someone who thought that he could write about something completely different entirely! You lot are better than him!
