Last day, pool and more caves

Fantastic sunny day, hardly a cloud in sight, so decided to head for the pool. First time we've actually sat by, it, but today was too good to waste and we both felt we needed some rays! It's a lovely pool area, overlooks the sea, and there was only another two couples there.




I read my book, "Eleven" by Mark Watson, very good, and Stu listened to music on his iPhone. The rest of us listened to him snoring. A white cat stayed eith us most of the morning, sleeping first under, and then on one of our sun beds,
After a couple of hours headed back to the apartment for a bit of lunch.




Then decided to go to the caves at Cala Morell, the ones I thought we were going to yesterday. This time we found them. Really are quite impressive. They're set in a deep valley just off the road, and apparently have been used for a variety of things, including as dwellings and as burial chambers.
Some of them are huge with central stone pillars




There's evidence of complex water collection systems





It's a lovely site, and about 20 caves to explore, all different.





Cant risk posting anymore photos from here as BlogPress doesn't like it, but will do when I get back.

Got back in time to pack. Then out to eat for final time. Had a minor panic as Stuart's glasses fell to pieces, and we had to fix them with an oversized screwdriver, Stu almost blind with no glasses on, and me as clumsy as ever. Managed it finally, much relief as far as I was concerned as without his glasses he can't drive, and we've got a lot to do tomorrow!.

Sad to be leaving this lovely Island, and not particularly looking forward to the journey home, 3 flights and a long drive!
