Palma

We have just spent a delightful morning in the city of Palma. 



The cathedral here is amazing. It sits atop a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and took 3 centuries to build. It has the most colourful stained glass windows I have ever seen. Gaudi’s influence is seen here too in the area around the altar. He designed the centrepiece which is quite amazing. 


There are little chapels along each side of the cathedral, some colourful and others quite somber. 

We then went for a wander through the old part of the city. 




It was very hot, over 30C. We decided to get back to the ship before we wilted away. Thank goodness they put on shuttles to get into town. Some brave souls decided to walk the 4km trip! Hope they did not get heatstroke before they got there!
