As you already know, today started at around 0440, when the lights came on in the Neptuno Lounge, where 90% of the passengers were asleep. Very swiftly we were up and doing and down the stairs to the car deck - no issue this time with non-drivers accompanying drivers to their vehicles. Very, very odd and inconsistent.
Forest drove down the ramp at almost exactly 0500, and out into the pitch-black night. No, we had not fitted the headlight beam deflectors, and still haven't. A couple of mistakes later, and we found our way along the coast road towards Puerto Pollenca. And there we got some money out of the auto bank, parked up, dozed and waited for the light to come up. At this point Alan took over the driver's seat and pottered along, trying to recall his former cycling routes, and where likely hotels might be. Almost immediately the Villa Singala presented itself. It looked just the job for one night, or two, as we later decided. Job done. When the manager appeared, we checked in, organised the security issues for the bikes, mended Forest's flat and meandered our way through the day.
Rain caused the abandonment of riding, so dinner was the only issue left to organise. Excellent it was too. The very popular Tiberi hit the spot once again, the only place where folks were still queuing at 2130.
