Airstream
Of course I wouldn't miss the usual train journey to Soller
this year. The old jolting train with the charm of the thirties starts in Palma
and takes about an hour over the mountains to Soller.

The most interesting experience on the journey is the open
platform on each coach. From there you have a great view all over the countryside
and you can see gravel and sleepers rapidly flitting by between the tracks.
The 'Tatam-Tatammmm'-rhythm accompanies the journey as well as a lot of wind
in my hair.

A streetcar masters the remaining distance from Soller to
the seaside. Year of construction? Ehm... antique - could be from the Romans
*grin* . At any rate most of the coaches do not have any windows or side
walls and the view is open to all sides. - Pure railway adventure!

Oh yes, in the evening we had some more railway atmosphere
in a restaurant called 'Orient Express'. Well, I won't recount this in
detail...
