Arriving in Mahon, Menorca, Spain

After twenty-eight and a half hours on passage we tied up in the large harbour of Mahon. Mahon is located on the south-eastern corner of Menorca which is the eastern-most Balearic Island. We arrived mid-morning and while Marian and I had a rest, Bruce went out to explore Mahon. In the afternoon, I walked into the old town that still retains a lot of the character of 200 years of British rule.
