The view of Soller from up in the hills
A Tram Trip to Port Soller, Mallorca - 18th August 2011
It's a few days in to the Mallorcan holiday, the first few days' photos of which were lost on a broken SD card. Nosher's up in the hills for a few miles of walking from the villa up to the edge of Sóller and on up in to the hills back over to Biniaraix for a beer and a freshly-squeezed orange juice - a trail that had been pioneered by Louise and Noddy a couple of days before. Then it's a group dinner, preceded by the application of fake tattoos. The day after, we get the ex-San Francisco tram to the nearby Port Sóller, which is slightly more touristy, but is equipped with a beach and an expensive yacht marina. Then, there's another evening of food where Nosher rustles up some rich tomato and serrano carbonara pasta for the masses, which is sweaty work in the extremely hot kitchen. There's also the traditional spot of ukulele from Noddy. The next day, Nosher has to head off early for a wedding in the US.
