Its been a long time....

Well this is quite possibly the most slack I have been so far. Though I am good at emailing mum pretty much every day as I promised her!

I don't have any photos to add with this post, as I am at work and don't have the capability to do so here. But I will give you an idea of what I've been up to anyway...

First and foremost, a large part of the last 6 weeks or so have been spent working. Monday to Friday, 8:30-5:30 that is most likely where you will find me. However I did get the chance to have a nice 5 day break over easter.

Easter I went away with 7 others to the fabulously relaxing island of Mallorca. The weather was nice, generally about 23-24 degrees celcius. The sun was awesome, and most afternoons were spent by the pool, with a drink in hand. Needless to say after sun down each night, we all got up to a bit of mischief. We stayed in the small town of Santa Ponsa, and by the end of our 4 nights there, I'm pretty sure we were well known at the majority of bars. Well known by both staff and patrons. This is probably due to our fashion sense, and the fact that we all wore 'aviator sunglasses' out together. The old "avi's" as they have been termed, definately attracted a lot of attention.

On easter sudnay we hired a van, and drove to what looked like the nicest place in our guide book. That was Port de Formentor at the most northern point of the Island. Our good mum Mrs Murray (aka Laura) was the only person in any fit state to drive, and so she skillfully tackled the extremely narrow and windy mountainous roads to get us right to the tip. It was well worth it when we got there, the view was amazing. Just ocean for as far as the eye could see, and we were up in the clounds as well which was pretty breath-taking.

We didn't quite manage our general McD's hangover cure this particular day, as every one we came across had not yet opened, this may have had something to do with the fact that it was Easter Sunday!! This of course didn't sit well with young Andrew, who only wanted McDonald's for his hangover and refused to eat anything else!!

To drive around half of the Island only took us about 2 and a half hours in total. So that gives you an idea of just how small the island is. They also don't speak strictly spanish there. There speak mainly Catalan and Mallorqui. They do speak some spanish, but my speaking spanish only managed to order myself chicken, chips and salad when I thought I was indeed ordering Pizza!!!

Sadly though our mad and crazy adventure had to come to an end. On the last day it rained, which was a shame, but that's the way god intended it obviously. I decided to pass they day by continuing my love affair with Jim Beam in the Hotel Lobby, and I think a couple of the girls were a bit concerned that I wouldn't be let on the plane due to intoxication, but I was fine - I swear!!

Well I'll have to leave it at that - as its time to go home now. But I will update on Gallipoli at the next chance I get. Hope everyone is well, as always.
