A last minute trip to Mahón

During our holiday in Menorca we decided one day to take a trip to the nearby city of Ciutadela. However, after arriving, my wife didn’t seem that impressed by the place (I’m not sure why, as I quite liked it, and would return on my own later in the week). So we decided to get a bus to Mahón (or Maó as it appears on all the road signage), the island’s capital.

Menorca isn’t a huge island, and it only took about an hour on the bus to get there. The pictures in today’s post are those I took while there.

The blues in the skies look a little strange in some shots. No matter how much I feel like I’ve got a good handle on scanning colour negatives, I still get caught out by it sometimes, often for not discernible reason.
