The breakfast on board is... weird. They have this buffet with sweet bread (what I'd expect at a café like donuts, muffins etc) and then you can also order a menu like "German breakfast" (where you get two boiled eggs) or "Norwegian breakfast" (where you get salmon). So basically you can't ask for a boiled egg alone. This means that I personally eat a bit too much and regret it the rest of the day as Mihiri has to drag me around.

We went by bus from the harbor to a kind of open market area. At the bus I offered my seat to an elderly lady (I felt that maybe I should try for once to be nice to the annoying old people around me and see what happens). What happened was that she helped us to the train station for the tourist train that went to Soller. Go figure.

The train to Soller

When we had managed to buy tickets the bastards closed the gate just in front of our noses, saying the train is full. I convinced Mihiri that we should go to a Café with Internet while waiting for the next train which was in 45 minutes, so we went a few blocks away where I saw the Wifi logo on a Café window.
On the opposite side there was another Café, also with a wifi sign. There was something bothering me with the first one but I couldn't explain what. It looked more modern so after some pondering (causing Mihiri to advise me to decide sometime this week) I went back to the first one and ordered a Cappuccino to go. Then I asked for the wifi. Oh we don't have any they said. It's just a sign on the window. Lesson learned: 1. Don't trust anyone! (but I never do), 2. Ask for wifi FIRST. Dammit.

Ok, so we went back to the train station which was crowded! The queue to the next train was really long, but I thought well, the train is longer so we should all fit. Mihiri panicked and tried to jump the queue. Eventually we got on the train.

This is not an ordinary train - it's more like something from a Harry Potter movie. The wagons are wooden with brass lamps and stuff. There is no AC of course, so all windows are open. Poles swished past the sides, and if you leaned out you could for a brief moment experience decapitation. I didn't try it out (obviously since I'm writing this). The view was mixed dried-out badland, lemon farms, horse farms, mountains with tunnels (luckily) and finally Soller. Soller seemed to be a nice little town to check out but after milling around a bit we managed to get on the tram towards the port of Soller.

Port of Soller

At the port we walked and walked and... walked. We didn't really know where we were going, but we met a lady going downhill saying that "the climb is worth the view". Eventually we ended up on the top of a hill with a fantastic view over the port and the sea. After some photos (we are tourists after all) and a short break we headed down again.

After buying the mandatory fridge magnet and having a bit to eat we headed towards where the bus stops which is quite a bit away. When we arrived there we found... A broken bus! This would not have been so stressful if we wouldn't have had a boat to catch. Eventually the next bus arrived and took us back to the market place in Soller. On the bus we met an English couple who tried to help us finding the bus stop and the bus to the harbor, but since they kept heading off the wrong way I carefully ignored their advice.

We made it back in time.
