More from Formentor
So where was I? Ok, this is the early morning in the bay of Formentor. Beautiful and serene. No one was awake at this time besides me and some fishes under me in the sea grass that I accidentally had to witness very closely.
I woke Alex up and we swam to land for breakfast by the Barcelo Hotel. After eating we got our fins on and snorkeled for around 90 minutes from one side of the bay to the other. A perfect start on a lovely, sunny day. I just recently got familiar with this other world, below the surface, and it's a shame I never got introduced to it earlier. Feels like there's so much I have missed out on! The life underneath our own is absolutely marvelous. So quiet and in total peace within itself. Can't wait to get somewhere even more beautiful where we can explore other oceans and their creatures. (Sorry not much pictures from below down as the underwater camera we got sucks. Will get a new one asap)
Feels like he wants to get out surfing. It's a shame that the waters and the choppy waves doesn't allow it around here in the Mediterranean. Can you feel our frustrating need to get to the pacific?! Diving in colorful waters! Surfing! Exploring new worlds!
Analyzing which new GPS to purchase. (Decided to go for the Garmin GPSmap 720s Chartplotter/Sounder.)
Later on that day we realized we had to stop somewhere to repair the halyard winch before sailing back home.
Were supposed to leave that night for our passage back home but the small town, Colonia st Pere, turned so incredible beautiful by sunset that we just couldn't leave before getting to indulge in the peaceful atmosphere, at least for one, single night.
Got my heels on,
and we went for dinner in one of the small restaurants by the beach.
Had a wonderful magret de canard in sweet pear sauce and a juicy piece of butter cooked salmon while dreaming and talking about our future adventures, and the meaning of the ones that had passed.
As none of us are particularly interested in football, we were in our own little world while everyone were inside watching Spain beating Holland. But we surely got notice of it when all of a sudden people came out from everywhere screaming and singing and lighting fireworks on the streets. Perfect entertainment just in time for our dessert.
Stayed in the marina until the next day and then back home the night after.
A very harmonic and relaxing weekend. Like most of the times when it's only the two of us. Us two with our Caos and the nature. Somehow it feels like that constellation has became our small family in a weird, wonderful, new way and like we said millions of times before, we can't wait to get the hell out of here (Europe) and take it all to the next level. /T
