More pictures from Menorca

A typical inhabitant of the Sunseeker berth in Mahon, Menorca. Owners don't like mentioning fuel costs, but we heard about one who spent £7000 on diesel during one holidayKalessin anchored outside Mahon, viewed from the fort at La Mola. We were here for three nights. Looks busy, but this was mid-afternoon - there were twice as many overnight!

Ciudadela - boats, boats everywhere and not a single visitors' mooring. You can't see the swell coming in but it was already starting at this point

This blog continues to be a source of great interest, useful facts and enjoyment!

Mention of Colonia de San Pedro brings back happy memories. My parents had a small holiday flat in the next village up on the ill (Belhem / Betlem) and we went many times for summer holidays with our children. In those days it was a sleepy place and I can't remember a marina, There was plenty of tacky (Dracx etc) even 25 years ago, but lots of unspoilt (San Pedro, Arta) too.

Enjoy the rest of your trip and I hope it stops raining soon!

Thanks for the kind words, David. The marina at Colonia de San Pedro is fairly new, which is one reason why were able to find a space there, I suspect!

It's now in a protected area, so the mountains behind probably haven't changed too much from what you remember. I would say outside August it's probably still extremely sleepy.

It has now stopped raining, and the sun is out but still pleasantly cool.

Merry Christmas from just me
