Arrival in Palma de Mallorca





It was an adventure to get to Palma de Mallorca and our hostel. It started at about midnight that morning when I took the midnight bus that normally takes six hours to get to Madrid. Austin and Phil took the 1am bus, I couldnt because it was full, yet our buses arrived at the same time because when we made a stop our bus driver decided it was fine to bs and drink coffee with everyone waiting on the bus. We then took the metro to the airport and flew to Palma de Mallorca. Mallorca is an island province east of Spain, and Palma is the capital of Mallorca.
When we got to the airport, we decided to walk into town instead of looking into riding the bus for some reason lol. As you can see in the picture above we had to cross a major highway but no big deal. We eventually made it to the beach, after a couple kilometers, and found a map that said we were down the beach a bit. After a good half hour walking down the beach we found out we were about halfway there! The map we found had our hostel in the wrong location, but we found it because I brought the address for some reason.
Our hostel was so close to the beach it was crazy! Me and Phil decided to go up to roof to check out the incredible view. We spent the rest of the day chillin at the beach and playing cards.
