Day 4 -- The drive to Soller

This morning there is either 90% chance of rain or clear all day, it really depends on what weather report you believe. weather.com says rain..bbc.com says clear. Im betting on clear as there are almost no clouds in the sky. So today we are driving the south and east coast to Soller, stopping at all the small towns along the way.

First stop is Santa Ponca a fishing village with some beaches and nice views:






The next few towns are connected by a supper windy mountain road that is full and rightly so of bikers pedaling their asses off...or coasting down s curves with amazing views. We get to drive it which is good because it is less tyring on the legs. Here are some vistas of that road










Eventually you arrive at the mountain set town of Deia where the real Mediterranean style can be seen. Set against the amazing mountains and cliffs, Deia is a beautiful spot on the island:



Last stop in Soller, a larger city with a port counter part (we did not go) but Soller is nice and has an interesting mixture of old and new.








So the drive was long but beautiful, although after a few hours of windy road some straight highways were a relief. Having not driven a manual in years and now doing so in the hillside I am proud to say my stall count is only at like 4 or 5.





We are off to Barcelona tomorrow morning and probably won't have any pictures until the next day. so please enjoy some photos from our Wedding that our amazing photographer Jerry Frazier has kindly posted on his blog: Link to his blog.

stay tuned!

The drive looks fabulous. I hope that Barsa is less confusing and more welcoming for you. :)
