Holiday's end

Weather yesterday was good enough for garden pizza 😄

A woman is preparing pizza dough outdoors on a floured wooden board. A freshly baked pizza topped with olives, cheese, and capers sits on another wooden board next to a jar of Mutti tomato sauce. A small table with various ingredients is in the background.

🏷 Location | 📆

Hot and rocky! My phone kept overheating. But guided by Google Maps I walked to and found the site of:

Prehistoric T-shaped anchor, Son Xoriguer, Illes Balears, Spain

A weathered, rocky terrain with a carved T shaped deep groove. A single foot wearing a black sandal is visible at the bottom left, highlighting the uneven surface. Small patches of green plants are scattered within the rock crevices. A rocky beach coastline with clear blue water, a red inflatable boat in the shallow bay, and a small cart on the beach holding kayaks and paddleboards. In the background, there are white buildings and green trees under a clear blue sky. A sandy, narrow path flanked by low stone walls, surrounded by green shrubs and bushes under a clear blue sky. The path appears to lead towards a distant horizon with minimal vegetation. Wooden informational signboard at Cova des Pardals - Son Vell in a natural, rocky landscape. The sign includes a map, text details about the area, regulations, and symbols indicating prohibited activities. The sky is clear and blue. A rugged rocky landscape with small green plants scattered throughout. The background features low bushes and a clear blue sky.

Morning coffee in Menorca ☕️🇪🇸

A serene outdoor patio featuring a white table with a cup of coffee and a decorative ashtray on it. In the background, there is a cushioned daybed with a canopy surrounded by green artificial grass. The area is enclosed by white walls with rising sun and blue sky above.
