More from Mallorca!

JR and Duck have spent a day on the beach. As the sun started to set, they seized the opportunity to find a higher perch to capture as much of the sun on their beaks as they could possibly get.

JR and Duck also like sightseeing, taking in as much local culture as they possibly can, whether it be seeing statues in the hotel garden ...

... or visiting ancient cities. They found the old city within the medieval walls of Alcudia to be fascinating, with a lot of little nooks and crannies down winding narrow roads where they could sit and have a coffee or poke around in shops.

But ducks work up an appetite when there is so much to see and do! They were persuaded to go for a KFC after a long waddle on the beach, but they couldn´t bring themselves to eat the chicken, as it´s possible that the chicken was a distant relative. They stuck to french fries and onion rings as that was a much safer option!

Ducks in Mallorca

JR and Duck loved the fact that it is only a two hour flight from the UK to Mallorca. A longer flight would have left their little wings too tired to enjoy their holiday!

What a difference in weather! From the cold, dampness of Birmingham, they arrived safely in the warm sunshine of Alcudia. Their first task was to take the chill out of their little bones by putting plenty of sunscreen on their feathers and getting out beside the pool!

The island of Mallorca is a beautiful place. There are mountains, beaches and the scent of aromatic flowers in the air.

JR and Duck were very surprised to see a friend turn up at the same resort: Devil Duck had also had enough of the long cold winter in England and booked a package holiday to Alcudia. He had considered going to Magaluf, which is usually more his kind of place - being a devilish sort of duck, of course - but had opted for a quieter holiday to soak up sunshine.

The two little ducks decided not to spend too much time in Devil Duck´s wayward company and headed off to the marina for a view of the sunset over the hills.

Being two tired little ducks, they headed back to the hotel soon afterwards for a good night´s sleep so they would be ready to hit the beach the next day!

Less Than 48 Hours to Go!

JR and Duck aren't always this helpful around the house, but when it comes to going on holiday, they are the first two to wade in with a helping hand. Or wing.

Unfortunately, at the moment they keep getting in the way! If they aren't careful, they will end up in the suitcase, and that's no way for a duck to travel!

At Last ...

J R and Duck had a miserable winter. After enduring snow, rain and dark days, the news came: it's time to go on holiday again!

And though they have over two weeks until taking off, today they have let me know that they are eager to start packing and get their holiday under way!
