My holidays are coming up soon ! My 2 week holidays havn´t actually begun yet. I only booked a flight to Palma de Mallorca on Friday some days ago. My wife and daughter will start to one week of skiing next Saturday. I used to ski too, but in the last few years I havn´t been that keen on skiing anymore. That´s why we´ll spend this vacation separately. I´ve got friends in Palma and will oversleep at their place for a couple of days. Due to the weather we´ll go bike-riding, which is very lovely in Mallorca, or go for a round of Golf. I´ve started learning Spanish lately and I have an appointment in Palma with a Spanish Teacher. I´ve recently met on Italki and have already had some classes with him. Apart from that I´d like to find time practicing my classical guitar pieces. Those I´ve abandoned a bit during the last month. I don´t spend holidays like lying on the beach or party until early morning. I love the outdoors and experience the nature by cycling and sometimes hiking. Maybe you know that Mallorca has got the image to be the 17th state of Germany and Mallorca is famous for the Ballermann and Bierstrasse. I can tell that only goes for a small part of the coastline east of Palma. The largest part is great nature, from the pretty villages in the Tramuntana-Mountains to the lovely beaches and hilly landscape in the north-east. I´m really looking forward to my stay.
