I was lucky enough to watch the RAF 100 centenary flypast from the bank of the River Thames whilst walking between sites today. It was amazing to see so many different types of aircraft and some impressive formation flying.

Highlights included a trek to the Cova des Coloms – a large cavern about 24 meters high and 100 meters deep which was reached by a lovely (although poorly signposted) trail inland from Playa Binigaus.
