Do you say that in English, you break bread...or share bread with
someone? Well that´s what I did this morning. My Finnish old roommate
was actually up before me *maybe his hemoroids kept him up, what do I
know* and he had gone down to the local bakery and offered fresh
baguettes. How sweet...
Least thing he could do after emptying half of my rum bottle yesterday!

So after this lovely start of a smelly morning I rushed out to my little
car and a plan started to form in my head. I believe it all started when
I watched "Batman Returns" yesterdaynight on a german channel *yeah...Mr
Baile wasn´t THAT cool screaming to the villains in German. Really*
Anyways, I decided to go spelonking. Always loved that word. Spelonking.
Interesting. So...up with my map and try to find some caves!

30 minutes of driving slalom between more bicycling oldies later, I
reached my destination and it was amazing!
...how long I had to wait before it opened.
Well...10 bux later and being attacked by at least 3 kamikaze seagulls I
entered the caves and they were really nice!
Huge stalag...stalk...statamites...stal...thingys came up from the floor
of the cave trying to reach for the roof 100 feet up. And vice versa.
Wonder why they don´t figure out that they can meet halfways. Hmmm...I
guess peacekeeping politics isn´t that big in a cave.
Amazing pics though only slightly disturbed by some old English baldies
this time.

After the breathtaking walk in the caves *yeah...there´s hills INSIDE a
cave as well* I went down to the harbour to get ,as usually, screwed in
the restaurant. Even if I speak Spanish. But that´s how it has to be in
Spain and I can at least be glad that I get screwed less than the
average tourist.

One million dollars later and three Sardins fatter I was actually
starting to like my vacation. then I got a parkingticket. Oh well...

OMG!

How much did you pay for sardines! I heard that Spain is really
expensive, and Marbella (or are you in Mallorca) is even more costly!

I´m in Mallorca:O)

Well, when I started to speak Spanish she quickly took away the menu and
gave me the Spanish one...so I payed around 25 dollars mas o menos.
...hmmm.. I wonder what the tourist price was bigsmile
