title A Trip to Sóller, Mallorca, Spain - 8th-14th September 2012 intro It's the second visit in two years to the lovely house of Ca'n Posteta, in the mountains on the western coast of Mallorca, just outside the pretty town of Sóller. This year there are 10 adults (Grandad comes too this year, making it a true three-generational "fammerly" holiday) and five children, which with the "perceived presence of sprogs" power law of 2n-1 means there seemed to be four times as many children/teens as last year's three. Still, the house is big enough so there's always somewhere to hide. Whilst there, there's plenty of massed eating, we finally discover the "big" supermarket, and there's lots of hanging out by the swimming pool. Also, Philly, Noddy and Nosher head off for a morning walk for a couple of miles up in to the hills - down the road to the edge of Sóller and up around the back of the house via Binibassi and down in to Biniaraix for a swift freshly-squeezed orange juice at the Bar Biniaraix, then onwards almost in to Sóller again before the return to the house. imgp5747 We get some sort of food at Stansted imgp5748 A couple of Ruinair 737s on the ground imgp5751 Another plane comes in imgp5755 Stansted Airport just after take off imgp5757 Harry - Mister Cheese - is asleep on the plane imgp5762 The Isle of Wight and the Solent imgp5766 Bleak sign on the seat in front imgp5769 Fred, Harry and Evelyn in the hammock imgp5771 Fred in the hammock imgp5778 The house: Ca'n Posteta imgp5779 Fred runs up the drive imgp5783 Cacti and mountains imgp5784 Downtown Sóller in the evening light imgp5789 Jamie, Grandad and Noddy imgp5791 Back to the regular haunt of Café Sóller imgp5792 Kids play around in the town square imgp5798 The church at night imgp5801 Hanging around by the street lights imgp5804 Fred runs around the square imgp5805 Fred and Isobel in the pool imgp5808 Another view of the mountains imgp5809 The back patio and table imgp5811 Isobel points at ants imgp5812 The fridge gets ready for the week ahead imgp5813 Isobel and Harry in the much sought-after hammock imgp5820 Hands-free hammock imgp5823 Fred clings on to a tree imgp5825 Isobel hauls Mister Cheese around imgp5826 The cloud-topped mountains of Mallorca canposteta Nosher does a sketchy painting of the view imgp5830 Light from stained glass paints the front door imgp5831 A farmhouse shuttered window imgp5834 Multi-coloured eucalyptus tree imgp5835 A sad donkey imgp5838 The sun goes down imgp5839 Flags and a soft-toy bull on the edge of Sóller imgp5841 Davida, Philly, Grandad and Isobel walk to Sóller imgp5844 Back-street shop imgp5846 Isobel walks around imgp5849 Wandering through town in the dusk imgp5852 We pause for a beer near the tram stop imgp5856 A tram rumbles by imgp5857 Café culture imgp5860 Philly and Davida at Cafeteria Central imgp5864 Splashes of stained-glass light imgp5872 Stained glass over the front door imgp5874 The swimming pool by night imgp5876 Harry and Fred eat breakfast imgp5880 Harry looks suspiciously at Noddy's ukulele imgp5883 A bit of wasteland imgp5885 A view of the town of Sóller imgp5888 Misty mountains imgp5891 Philly, Nosher and Noddy walk through Binibassi imgp5894 Bright pink flowers imgp5898 A dirt road imgp5899 Philly looks out over a dry riverbed imgp5901 Philly surveys the road imgp5902 We inspect a plastic crocodile hung on a fence imgp5905 Curious mats of red algae in an irrigation pond imgp5908 The back streets of Biniaraix imgp5909 The Bodega Biniaraix imgp5910 Orange juice and coffee at the Bodega Biniaraix imgp5912 On the tram to Port Sóller imgp5918 Isobel and Harry on the tram imgp5922 The white mopeds of Bullimoto imgp5923 Port Sóller imgp5926 Port Sóller beach imgp5927 Grandad and Fred look at the boats imgp5931 The touristy frontage of Port Sóller imgp5933 Grandad, Isobel and Harry imgp5937 Chuck and Philly set fire to stuff imgp5939 Evelyn and Isobel put out some pre-barbeque nibbles imgp5941 Time for dinner imgp5946 The barbeque gets going imgp5956 Philly throws some meat on to the fire imgp5960 Philly does his thing imgp5973 The gathered masses imgp5982 Sticky the stick insect comes to visit imgp5993 The party moves indoors as it rains a bit outside
