Skiing again!!

Too old for actual skiing but not for Spending Kids Inheritance, this time on a return to Menorca which we last visited in October 2018.

The view from our balcony

We stayed once again in the very traditional Hotel Port Mahon overlooking the busy harbour of Menorca's capital, Mahon.

A regular stop for cruise ships

Said to be the largest natural harbour in the world, around 5 kilometres in length, it was a view that we feasted on every morning as we drew the curtains in our sea view room.

The centre of the city

The fish market...fabulous!

Menorca and Mahon is steeped in around a century of British tradition, the British having conquered and occupied the island three times in the course of history. The influence is plainly seen in the style of architecture and the homes of famous British residents who have lived there.

Lady Hamilton's home.

Just across the harbour from our hotel is the former home of a certain Lady Hamilton, who Lord Nelson spent the odd evening with during his visits to the port and opposite is  the former residence, now a hotel, of Admiral Lord Collingwood, second in command under Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Collingwood's house

No Morgans to be seen, in fact we didn't even hire a car but relied on our feet and completed six good days of walking. At least it kept my weight in check which is a vital necessity for a Morgan driver as there ain't much room in the cockpit. As it was, regardless of the exercise, a few extra pounds joined me on the flight home which I thankfully have now lost.

Es Castell

We can certainly recommend skiing as we already have three more holidays in the bag before February 2020!!!
