    Hi , i just replied on the roll call,  the easy way get a bus from the main bus station which you can walk to if you are staying in the old town ,it is the 501 and takes about 1 hour and cost around 10 eu

    Thanks Roger,

    I will check out the bus schedule.  Do you know if the museum is within walking distance to the bus terminal in Manacor?

     

  2. Hi Roger,

    We will  be in Palma for a few days in November and looking to visit the Rafa Nadal museum in Manacor.  We will be staying in Old Town without a car.  What would be the best way to get there?  It does not look like the tours will be running after Oct.

     

    Thanks for your help

    We will be arriving in Mallorca on the Oceania Nov. 22.  We are

    planning to visit the Rafa Nadal academy and Museum in Manacor.

    Will we be able to get a taxi at the port or do we need to reserve in advance?  Also, are the fares at a fixed rate?
    Another option would be to rent a car for the day.  Would you recommend that?
    Thanks for your help,

  4. On our recent cruise through the Panama Canal on the Coral Princess we visited the port of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. We walked around town for a while and then found our way to the very lovely Pelican Eyes Resort Hotel. www.piedrasyolas.com It is just a short walk from the cruise ship terminal at the end of Calle Central. This beautiful resort sits on top of a hill and afforded a breathtaking view of the town and our ship in the harbor. Great for taking photos. There is an animal rescue facility on the premises, where they care for injured and abandoned animals. Monkees, birds, pigs, racoons, cats, etc. Katie (from Canada) gave us a most interesting complimentary tour. They also have a small veterinary hospital on the grounds. The hotel supports the Fundacion A. Jean Brugger a non-profit organization that provides needed services for children and senior citizens. The day we visited they were entertaining some of the Sr. citizens around the pool. There was music and dancing and laughter and everyone was having a good time. It only added to the fun. We enjoyed some cool refreshments at their beautiful restaurant before returning to our ship. They were very happy to see any visitors from the cruise ships. We also spoke with Ralph Hewitt, the owner of another local hotel. Ralph and his wife Renda are originally from Texas. They own and operate the Park Avenue Villas in S.J.d.S www.parkavenuevillas.com. Ralph also extended a welcome to visitors from the cruise lines. All in all this was one of our favorite stops. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking to spend a very pleasant afternoon while in this port.
