WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

@Madame Buttonfly and I are in Menorca, we have come here primarily to check on the progress of MV SAKURA (which means making ours selves a PITA with the builders).  But we have lot of other things to do and we have fallen in love with Menorca, out of season it is quiet and cheap - and stunningly beautiful.  It is thus far my favourite Mediterranean Island, bar none.

This morning, we went Venus and Mars'ing shopping.  Paula did bedding, I did liferafts.

Sorry, I forgot to take pics of sheets….

Afterwards, we went to look at some of the Talayotic remains which exist on the Island, there are 100's of these across Menorca.

I can't tell you how much I loved this place....

I'm a sucker for steps built into dry-stone walls….

The cistern and washing area…

Paula, worshipping some random deity, or doing an " @twin "

Afterwards, we drove to Cuitadella for a quick refreshment. 

I fell in love with this building, I think what made it so special for me was the sympathetic use of UPVC double-glazing in the windows above the entrance.  Fucking vandals…..

I'm also a sucker for covered walkways, a Portico in Italian (bologna is famous for them)…

Think it's fair to say we are incredibly lucky with the weather

Looks like a wonderful place to visit. Must add to my bucket list for some winter sun.

After playing boats:

We took a trip up to the third largest town in Menorca, Alaior, because we wanted to see the church that dominates the surrounding countryside….

The simplicity of this arched roof is a joy to behold…No ostentatious my-cojones-are-larger-than-yours architectural pomposity....

Not an architect or art historian, but it is interesting to see those Romanesque arches instead of Gothic ones. I looked it up and based on when it was built, I think pointed arches would have been the dominant style. So I would think it is unusual to have that style from that era and in such pristine condition.

Glad y;all are enjoying your adventure!

Food first.

Then off to the woods for a walk.

I'm having visions of myself walking on this pier.   
And all of your pics from there are absolutely beautiful.

I’m having similar visions but I’m falling off of it.
