7th September

Some of my fans (well only one actually) has complained about lack of yesterday's blog. Here it is.

We awoke in our wonderful peaceful anchorage. S & M visited the Mola, the magnificent fortifications overlooking the entrance to Mahon harbour while Lucinda and I stayed on Imagine. When they returned we moved to a 'floating island' opposite the main town. In the afternoon we went to see the festival. Try as I might I could find very little information on line about the biggest festival of the year in the Island's biggest town. The tourist office was shut, after all it was a holiday. So we wandered around town and eventually came across a cavalcade of horsemen dressed in black morning coats and white trousers. The horses looked pretty good too. There were also giants parading down different streets. There was meant to be a finale somewhere but we decided to go to eat instead. And so back to the boat.
