Europe (3) - Island Ports

We visited two islands while cruising.  On Monday, we stopped in Majorca and on Tuesday, we visited Sardinia.  Both destinations were new for us, so we were looking forward to both.

On Majorca, we docked in Palma and took a charter bus through town over to a small train station.
Here we boarded the train and started the journey up to Soller.  There was some beautiful scenery along the way.



It took about 30 minutes or so, but we arrived in this quaint little town.
We were given about an hour and a half to explore the town and enjoy its sites.  We both wished they had allowed more time so we could have enjoyed a snack or meal and some more time here.  It was a cute town.


We took one last look over the town, and then it was time to take the bus back down to the port and get back on the ship.
Tuesday we landed at Sardinia's port in the capital city of Cagliari. It was another beautiful day which we were so thankful for.  Italy is still reeling from the pandemic, so they are a lot more strict on cruise visitors.  We had to stay with our group the whole time, so unfortunately, we didn't get to wander around as we would have liked.  That's okay though; this was still a lovely place to visit.

The bus took us near the top of the city, so we had a great view to enjoy.
Our group stayed together as we then started to walk down the hill.  There were lots of beautiful sites along the way.




The bus eventually picked us back up to drive us back to the port.  However, we made one stop along the way to enjoy the view of the other side of the city.  It really was beautiful!

We made it back onboard and enjoyed the view from our balcony as we pulled away.
Onward we go!
