The Sun Has Got His Hat On, Hip-Hip-Hip-Hooray...

Well, not here, he hasn't. But he had in Menorca. Which is where we've been over the last week (well, from 31st August to 7th September).

What can I say? It was gorgeous. Beautiful. Wonderful. Sunny. Warm. Laid back. Full of good cheese and cheap wine. What more could you want?

We stayed in Es Castell, which is a former British colonial town, built a couple of hundred years ago when Menorca was an important Mediterranean base. You could really see how the Mediterranean influences married with Georgian architecture. It had fantastic views across the harbour to Mahon (Maò in Menorquin), which is a fantastic place to explore - winding streets, good shopping and lots and lots of cafés, all with wonderful views across the bay.

I can't recommend it too highly.
