Menorca


We had a perfect sailing day from the Island of Mallorca over to the Island of Menorca on our last hurrah on the Balaeric Islands of Spain. Coming up the east coast of Menorca we saw this awesome view of the caves with the typical torres (ancient lookout tower)as seen all over the islands. Menorca has the greatest concentration of prehistoric remains in the entire Mediterranean and the port city of Mahon is supposedly where mayonnaise was created. We of course have totally gotten on board with the local custom of eating aioli (mayonnaise with garlic) with just about everything.Yummmmm.

We spent just a few days moored in the harbor of Mahon, getting ready for our passage to Sardinia. Soooo, we are ready and leave tomorrow morning for about a 30 hour cruise to the Italian island of Sardinia and new adventures..........
