Day 10 - Mallorca

Our final cruise day took us to Mallorca. Mallorca de Palma is a small island off the coast of Spain. The island is a great mix of old and new. We took the 100 year old train to Port de Soller to enjoy the sites, grab some Cappucino and even managed to pick up some Mallorcan pearl earings for Laura. The shot above is of the Mallorcan cathedral and was taken as we departed. This was actually the last picture I took on the cruise and one of my favorites. Check out the other sites from our visit.
