Summer Holiday 2001

This was the first true holiday that we had spent as a family. We stayed at a full board hotel in Palmanova in Majorca. Though the only flights the kids had been on before were when they came over to England they were both well behaved on the plane.

We weren't in the hotel long before we found the pool.

The waterproof cameras proved to be a good buy. I did not want to get the digital camera wet or full of sand so we took the disposable, waterproof cameras when we were by the pool or the sea.

The kids spent several hours each day in the pool. To start with Cara was very shy and cautious but as the holiday progressed she got braver and braver.

I took the opportunity to learn to dive. Didn't belly flop too many times.

We didn't book up too many excursions, being only a short distance from the sea we spent most of the holiday in either the sea or the pool.

Both Seth and Cara were very ill one night after drinking the local tap water. Rather than admit that he'd drunk the tap water after we'd told him not to Seth suggested that he was ill because he'd been looking at all the topless women on the beach. This little comment made staying up all night worth while.
