Day three of hiking through Portugal
Being woken up by strange noises in the church, didn't stop us from lounging around in our godly room all morning. Eventually at 11.30 am we packed our rucksacks and left.

A guide to Mallorca
With super cheap flights to Mallorca, it seemed rude not to go. I flew from London to Palma (Mallorca's capital) and back for just £80 with Easy Jet.
