Travel day

Day of travel today, to bus at 7:30, to 8:30 ferry, to ibiza, to breakfast and long awaited "take away" diet coke for KR
Interesting note on diet coke or coke zero, the typical size we would get is about 200 ml and a 12 oz can is about 330 ml, can you imagine the excitement to see a 800 ml diet coke from McDonalds after 10 days!!
Some places were charging €2.50 to 3.50 for the small size.  Coffee and wine is definately cheaper, the opposite in the US
11:30 bus ride 2 to airport, 1:30 flight was delayed and switched gates twice but up in the air around 2:30 pm
Good news though, KR was searchinb for this special beer that has an awesome design on it and were not able to find until the last store in the airport, got 2
One more cab ride to the hotel before final shopping and walking tour in barcelona before the flight out tomorrow early
Funny, its 3pm here and 6,  7,  & 8 am for family in the US
We are doing great and KR'S injuries are healing.  It has been a great trip!!!!

Last night in formentera

After a full day of sup'ing and a 4 hour snorkel tour KR's left side was feeling it, like not crippled but close.  We did have a great boat ride along the coast and TR got to snorkel through what the call a grotto which is basically a cave in the ocean.
We met our second american but the were not ones we really liked, but we did meet some nice Brits and some Spainards from Madrid
We also have to say how nice the people from the Island have been
We have gotten multiple presents from store owners where shoped and talked to, what US stores give you presents.  see attached picture

hot. no.food

Missing the conveniances of the good old US: quick food when you need it, food not running out at the end of the day, air conditioning, or at least some fans, just getting the check quickly will be nice.
