As we travelled around Mallorca over the last (gulp) six weeks (a long time to spend on the one island), we spent a lot of time visiting Mallorca’s beaches – although sadly not spreading our towels out on them. Rather, Terence was photographing them, and I was checking them out for an update of a guidebook – so every visit was a hit and run. I admit that I may well be out of touch when it comes to inflatable beach toys, but I was astonished to see the variety of blow-up beds, lounges, tubes and toys, some especially whacky, like this double tube being carried by these guys in the picture. I wondered if floating about on this thing together was something they found to be lots of fun (they looked a bit too old to me), or whether a silly inflatable was simply a cool beach accessory. Nothing quite says ‘summer holiday’ like carrying one of these under your arm as you traipse along the sand.

That is pretty ridiculous on a couple of grown men. I half expect them to also have a floating cooler. I agree with Jessiev, more photos please!
