Mallorca, May 2010

The Mallorca awards from our trip in may 2010 are in no particular order

Best Mojito – Opio Bar, Puro Hotel, great drink, shame about the music and well worth 1000 centimos a pop.
Best bus – The number 15, is there anywhere it doesn't go?
Best band – Conflict 33%, funk, jazz and rap, all tightly bound.
Smallest Jazz club – Jazz Voyeur, less space than our lounge.
Best exhibition of photography by a rock star – Romanticism by Lou Reed in Es Baluard.
Best Saturday afternoon pastime – being in a shop, years since we did that
Best View from a Jazz Club – Blue Jazz at the top of the Hotel Saratoga
Best bar with a song about it by the Gibson Brothers – Cuba, quiero bailar la salsa AND enormous g&ts
Best informal, fun, relaxed dining in Palma – Fosh's Tasca Blanquerna, try the clams
Best informal, fun, relaxed dining in Puerto de Soller – the Bistro at the Hotel Esplendido, try the clams!

Best SFX - Boat Ride to Sa Calobra
Worst nationality – The French (have back-pack, will travel en masse)
Most antisocial way of transporting your gear – a backpack. Why not just carry a six foot plank over your shoulder and keep turning 360 degrees.
Worst thing that could happen – someone thought I was French, even though I had my wallet out in the spending position at the time.
