We are enjoying quiet days here on Mallorca, meeting only occasionally with friends in restaurants outdoors or on our patios. Today we hiked from the vinery Mortitx to a high plateau close to the ocean, ses Basses. The good path leads through olive groves and then along wild mountains and cliffs. The area is used as breeding ground by Black Vultures and closed from February to July to protect the birds. In November 2008 some Griffon Vultures were blown to Mallorca from the mainland and there are supposedly a few breeding pairs of those here as well.
Two years ago we were on this trail with some friends from Germany and Vancouver and decided to go down to the Mortitx Gorge. Unfortunately, there was too much water in it to go through to the gentle return path and we had to scramble up a steep mountain to get back. Today we bypassed this and enjoyed a nice lunch snack at the field at Ses Basses. The weather was perfect for hiking and we picked up some wine on the way back as well.
Great to see your news and updates. Bless you as you rest.

Good morning to you 2
You found the way through “the hole in a needle” 🤗
We bought our ✈️-tickets 27/12-2019 and should have been in Så Rapita on the south coast mid October 😥 and in Puerto Pollensa from 31/10.
In June we crossed our fingers – in July we said 50/50 – and in the beginning of August we were denied access from our government 😥 Lufthansa chanced our flight plan 3 times – the last time it wasn’t applicable.
We have been in contact with Antonio every month and discussed the situation – so we understand that our autumn will be here in Kolding DK
We don’t complain our situation – we have had a very good summer this year – spend 95 days in our summer destination Skagen
We wish you a good and safe stay in your central heated apartment and the lovely surroundings in a pleasant weather
Warm wishes from Pernille & Ib
