Formentera

The first night we went to ‘Café de Lago’.
This little Pizzeria overlooked a small lagoon and served excellent Pizza to go with the view of ‘white caps’ and ‘swaying masts’ whilst we felt very self-satisfied that we were nicely tucked up in a marina with big solid concrete pontoons. 
‘Posidonia’ being a distant memory in another time.
hmmm.. at least I think it was the wind blowing the masts and not the effect of the wine!

We hired a car the next day to tour the island.
This little island is only 12 miles long and 4 miles wide (maybe!) - but well worth the drive.  
The scenery was spectacular. The towns are all very small and cute.
All the beaches have white sand and crystal clear water.

We actually drove to the two lighthouses but unfortunately we had no view due to the morning mist!  Doh!
But we were told that the view really is spectacular, really.
There only one course of action then.
We closed our eyes and imagined the most spectacular view we could imagine.
We can confirm then – the views from these lighthouses are spectacular!

We found a wonderful seaside restaurant for lunch and had one of the best fish dishes ever – like EVER!   Magnificent cliffs to one side with waves crashing into the rocks and the local town to the other side.  Ibiza was just visible in the distance.  The sea was turquoise blue and the sun was shining again!
This chef was amazing.
Actually, we didn’t just find this restaurant - it had been recommended.
Anyway, this is part what cruising is all about for us. Arrive at a port. Explore the area and finding great food!

We took lots of pictures. (no, not from the lighthouses!)

OOPS!!!!
When we got back to the boat we found the camera’s memory card still in the computer -  not the camera!
Of course we probably should have returned to the restaurant again to retake the pictures – tough job this.  
ah well - we will always have the memories!

Formentera was a lovely clean island with very friendly people. Well worth a return visit.

Hey, we can always reacquaint ourselves with our old buddy ‘Posidonia’.
