New solar setup and hasta luego Alcudia! 🌞🥳

Julie

I've lost count of how many times we've sailed in and out of this bay. But this will be the last time for a while. We've decided to sail back to Greece and spend the winter there. Before we can leave, though, we still have a few things to take care of in Alcudia. We've ordered a 470-watt solar panel that we need to pick up and install. The plan is to mount it on the bimini, but first we need to build a solid structure for it. And of course, we’re saying goodbye to the people we've known here for so long. Or rather, we’re just saying “hasta luego.” We’re going back to our favourite Indian restaurant one last time, where the table was once again filled with colourful dishes. After that, we had a chocolate tasting: Belgium versus Switzerland. Switzerland came out on top, although I have to admit the flavours were so different that it was nearly impossible to compare. And honestly, with five Swiss people and just one Belgian, it wasn’t a fair fight anyway. Still, it was a GREAT evening! The weather isn't cooperating at all. Not because it’s rainy or cold, quite the opposite. It’s so hot during the day that we barely have the energy to do anything. Cooling down is tough, even for the cats. On the final day before we lift anchor, we’ll take Nelly to the vet for her rabies shot. After that, we’ll run some errands, do a few loads of laundry and (mostly) finish installing the solar panel.
