We've spent longer than we would have done here because we've met up with family and friends, which is fine as it's much more fun when you're sharing your adventures.  Thanks to Helen's meticulous research we ate at some fantastic restaurants which we'll certainly return to when we're back here later in the year and next April/May.  We had a great day sail from Santa Eulalia to Cala Llonga with John and Helen and we were sorry to see them leave on Wednesday.  We endured the side-on swell for an extra couple of days to stock up with essentials and have a haircut.  Chris and I both have short, baby-fine hair.  Since leaving marinas we've been making our own water and washing our hair in the demineralised water makes it go really fluffy - we look like a pair of dandy-lion seeds!  Anyway, we were both over-due a trim which we had this morning.  I think Simon the hairdresser was an apache indian in a previous life; I'm one step away from a Sinead O'Connor, (unfortunately my bone structure isn't).  Great cut though, and I won't need another for a while.

 

 

So, freshly shorn, we're heading to Mallorca tomorrow.  We've loved Ibiza more than we ever imagined - but then again hundreds of billionaires can't be wrong can they?  Boy, there's some money around here, summed up for me by the name of one super-yacht: Just Another Toy.  We've seen the largest of Abramovitch's yachts (he has several), Eclipse a few times, and I ask myself, "Two helipads, why?"  Simon reliably informs us that these guys haven't been hit by the recession, Ibiza's busier this year than ever.

 

 

After Mallorca we're off to Menorca.  We had our dive-tanks filled yesterday and, according to good old Google, Menorca has the best dive-sites of the Balearics so it would be rude not to give them a go.
