three old and cool places

Even though this isn’t the first thing we did I’m going to start with it. It is when we went on a carriage ride (with a horse) around the cathedral (for some of that don’t know a cathedral is a giant church) The drivers name was Manolo and the horses was Vicky.

I brought my camera with me and took loads of pictures, some I will post on the blog. Just maybe not this one. There are pictures of the cathedral and some parts of the city. The cathedral is very old, it is 800 years old!!!!!

We are in Palma right now it is a huge city in Mallorca.

One of the other highlights of this trip is the castle. We rode part of the way then we started walking up the stairs. The stairs were very slippery because of how many people walked up them. Most of Palma was like that.

It took forever to get up the steps and most of us were out of breath when we made it. When we got up we saw the castle, but surprise, surprise we had to have tickets. Thankfully mom said she would go and get the tickets. When she came back we were all thirsty, again mom came to the rescue because she’s always prepared. She brought bubble water and regular water.

The castle was a museum and a castle at the same time. Of course, there wasn’t a king anymore, but you could still go in most of the rooms. We went around trying to find secret passages we think we might’ve found one, but it could just be another exit.

There were three floors the bottom one had a bunch of statues the middle was sort of like a big round porch. The top was a roof and had a hole in the middle of it. There were towers, but we couldn’t go in them unfortunately.

Another thing is the fort it was cool and had sculptures everywhere. It also had a place on the roof where we could go. By the way Palma has these huge gulls and we saw one of them up on the roof. On the winter solstice the sun would shine directly though the stained glass and make a kaleidoscope!!!! I hope we’ll be there.

Here’s a picture.

That’s it! By ‘till next time! G.W.
