The Mediterranean lifestyle

We had planned a day at the beach, in Cala Agulla, in the beautiful North of Majorca. Being environmental conscious, we chose to go by bus. The timetable said 11.30 am. One hour later we were still there, sitting patiently on a bank remembering childhood memories when it took hours to go anywhere. I'd thought it was a thing of the past.

Then it was very common that a train stopped in the middle of nowhere and no one knew what would happen next.

Yesterday people were also amazingly patient; no one got angry or confronted the driver. Majorca wasn't called the calm island for nothing.

Finally, a bus arrived. We got into it, paid our fare. No sooner had we taken our seats that the bus driver announced that the bus couldn't continue as the motor was overheated. Another bus would take us to our beach destination, 8 miles away at the most.

Again we got off the bus and waited to admire the arrival of the oldest bus still traveling the roads of Majorca. The bus driver was so bad that it was more like sailing the road.

However, it all had a happy ending. We reached Cala Agulla, the sun and the Mediterranean Sea were well... luminous and joyful, typically Mediterranean. We had a wonderful day.

In 40 minutes I had prepared a delicious Mediterranean potato omelette that I took to the beach. It is a very good option for a picnic outside, and it was still hot when we ate it. The blue Mediterranean sea and sky made it better that when you eat it at home sitting at a table.

One way or the other the Mediterranean lifestyle is still alive.
