July, 2017 - CALA TAULERA (PUERTO MAHON), MINORCA, SPAIN

Got an early start to avoid the adverse winds that build in the afternoon.  Still had a bit of a slog the last few miles.

SV Kealoha and SV Juno (originally seen in Son Saura) arrived before us.  Hosted everyone for dinner.

Enjoyed a long dingy trip into Mahon and toured the fort next to the anchorage.

The inner harbor.

The town is atop a steep cliff.

Discussing ice cream options.

We find a Russian built motor cycle with side car for rent.

Human powered Merry go Round.

Of course there is a church.

Interesting sights around town.

This was in the bathing suit store.  We see these occasionally, usually on pot bellied middle aged European men.

Banana hammock, only 100 Euro. I pass.

La Mola is the fort just above the anchorage.

The fort was used as a prison for a part of it's history.

WW II era additions.
