[@mehu849]

Hello Guys, It's seems you guys enjoyed and loved abandoned island. Thanks for showing such a wonderful place. Love it ❤ Have a Safe journey Ahead ❤

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey Mehu!!! Yes, it really got us out of our comfort zone, which always gets the adrenaline pumping and is one of those moments we’ll never forget. There’s nothing really like trying something new adventurous, right? 😂😅🤗 Thank you so much for taking the time to say hello. We love hearing from you!!! It’s SOOO nice to have a conversation with you guys!!! Especially when I’m at my laptop editing away solo! 🥹🥹 cheers and have the best day! Next video is dropping this weekend yay!

[@Hxxrtbrxxk]

This was so sick! I’m so glad to have discovered your channel! 🤙

[@danielerdos3046]

Hats off guys, production quality is amazing. The drone shots are awesome and the editing is top notch with the cutting, the imagery plays nice with the narrative, the voiceover is A+... This could easily be a Netflix docu-reality kind of travel series (maybe pitch them the idea? 😀). Mallorca and bigger-coastal towns in Spain are not super cheap (although the 23-26€ salmon is not the norm either). If you'd like cheaper, but tasty food that will fill your bellies, we like these tapas: patatas bravas (potatoes with aioli which is a bit maionnaise-like sauce made from olive oil and sometimes with either a red sauce or arabian spices), pimiento de padrón (fried green pepper with big salt pieces. Not hot but a bit bittery), albondigas (sometimes albondigas de carne - meatballs in tomato sauce), croquetas de jamón (mashed potato sticks with ham), morcilla (blood sausage which might sound creepy but it's a bit similar in taste to the french pate. It isn't that spicy in Spain and a bit on the sweeter side compared to the slavic region where they also have this food). Awesome drink is tinto de verano (loosely translated: red wine of the summer), based on red wine, soda and lemon - refreshing, a bit sour, tasty and only like 4-5% alcohol so won't wreck you 😀

[@KristinasTravels]

Hi Daniel,thank you so much for your lovely message!! So kind of you to say. It sure does make us feel extra special 🙂🙂 what great insight you gave into Mallorca, Spain and it’s cuisine. I’m going to pin this comment so people can read your tips! A great contribution to the sailing/travel community 🍷🍷 Thank you!!! 🙌🙌

Ohhhh AMAZING!!! Go say hi to Kelly! She’ll be at the Jeanneau stand ❤️🥰🤗

[@tomriley5790]

Lovely video! What an interesting island!

[@KristinasTravels]

So interesting hey!!! I wish we had more answers!!! So unique and bizarre. I've never seen a cave house built like that before, have you!?

[@vinceperillo6802]

Hi guys very cool island tour. Your experience has paid off because if you did tie the tender up to the wall it definitely would be damaged or worse sunk. Safe sailing Peace

[@KristinasTravels]

Would have been horrific! So glad we can share these experiences on here. Hopefully we’ll save a few tenders 😅🤗 Thanks Vince for your Patronage!! ☺️❤️

[@bos6782]

Love your content and drone footage. Always good stuff. The 55 is a beautiful boat.

[@KristinasTravels]

❤️🙌 thank you!!! Yes it’s so beautiful! Can’t wait to show you inside with a tour!

[@bos6782]

@@KristinasTravels that boat looks so spacious. Definitely a boat a couple could circumnavigate in. Thanks for your reply and can’t wait to see more of the boat and of course you and John’s amazing journey.

[@aldrindelacruz6198]

Hi there krys, i am watching again your beautiful blog, i was amazed with the abandoned island and how those rocks formed because of huge waves, It looks creepy and seems like somebody lived there for a while, but maybe they left it for some reason, kind of scary and haunted, doesent look safe at night,.. And those crazy huge waves are too risky to dive, good thing you've got those shoes very useful for sharp objects and corals,.. Kell was improving her dive, she needs a little bit of practice and she'll be a good diver soon,.. It's another breath taking adventure, i really enjoyed watching it, what i like most of your videos were places like never been featured by other bloggers, like those creepy islands you've been through, though looks kind of scary and risky but interesting, places we have never seen before, keep it up guys, i really love to see more on your future blog, and what i really love about you guys was you literally read our comments, i could actually felt the way how you appreciate them the way we really appreciated you, co'z everything around is beautiful, the ambiance the gorgeous blogger, your outstanding voice like a music to our ear, your good looking husband😎, and the guest crew (James Bond?😜), specially your brand new sufisticated boat.

[@KristinasTravels]

Hey!!! I LOVE this!! Thank you so much for your amazing, heartfelt and kind message. SO lucky to have you here and be able to connect here in the comments 🙌🙌 Yes it was a little creepy! Hahaha, but worth it. Such an INTERESTING journey full of adventure. Thanks for being on the ride with us! Can’t wait to take you to Palma next week 🙂❤️

[@mrharry8466]

What a life. All the best to you all.

my beautiful island I am going to make videos of all the beaches of Mallorca in winter when there are not so many tourists. mi isla bonita voy hacer videos de todas las playas de mallorca en invierno cuando no haya tantos turistas.

[@KristinasTravels]

Ohhh, that would be ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! What are the winters like? Are they quite mild? 🙌🙂

[@rudyo8409]

Lov dat boat !

[@xiaosongcao8982]

omg you guys living in dream😊❤

[@patraic5241]

El Toro. The Bull. I can imagine that name coming to be from ships wrecking themselves in the horns of The Bull. Hence the light house.

[@KristinasTravels]

That's such an interesting and valid story - wow!!!! Can you imagine!?

[@glynndoyle8939]

I've just come across your Channel...fantastic, you are living your dreams. Love the Jeanne's 55 with the current travel plans to Mallorca. I'll have to go back and forth to get the start of both of your story's. Best of Luck and safe journey to John and yourself and whoever goes with you.

[@MrFroglips69]

Groovy episode. Cool island.

[@KristinasTravels]

So unique hey!!!!! Felt really weird walking around.. but I can see why a lot of people would never stop by! A bit of a mission 😅☺️

[@tonyw3250]

Another great adventure, I'm not sure I would of gone near the crumbling house though😁

[@KristinasTravels]

Haha… yeh… I was a bit of a chicken myself! Wish I went back in with the camera for a second time! 🤣😅🤣

Thanks guys!

Not much better than interesting and well educated Ladies that happen to be absolutely gorgeous. I really enjoy your inner investigative reporter coming through Kristina with info about all the less traveled places you'all explore plus you and Kelly crack me up

[@vitriolo6531]

You have been very lucky that the Coast Guard or the Civil Guard did not pass because that island is not abandoned but restricted marine and bird reserve and you cannot anchor outside the buoys or in them without permission, or climb on it. It is called El Toro reserve. This type of tourist behavior is totally unacceptable. Maybe next time you will be less lucky and have to sell the boat to pay the fine.

[@KristinasTravels]

John here thanks for your message, we were aware of the marina reserve and no anchoring area, as mentioned in the video which is why the boat remained underway and we tendered from far from ashore. Nothing on the charts nor In all of our research online did we find anything to indicated that the island itself is off limits or part of a nature reserve or national park (unlike Cabrera for example). We take marine conservation seriously and make sure we comply with all published requirements for national parks and marine reserves. If the island was off limits there’s certainly nothing easily available to indicate as such. There are also numerous diving companies that dive around the island by boat also. Appreciate your concern though.

[@vitriolo6531]

@@KristinasTravels The diving companies only anchor in the boots provided by the reserve authorities, restricted numder of divers, with prior permission and payment. Your videos only encourage people to visit the NOT ABANDONED island and not to respect the reservation (which does appear in my letters).

[@earlashton1342]

Guys no one likes to be told your crazy. LISTEN. You must be missing so many likes. So at the end of your vlog you need to warn us your signing off. For me as a sub I like to give you a like. But what happens is 1 min your there & the next I'm looking at something else. So I go back & give you a like but I;m not sure you & others that do this get The like. I'm thinking I have to go back & watch ago. Just saying. I'm excited for you by the way. Since Ticana.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Yes, a thumbs up/like means so much. I’ll try reminding everyone earlier in the episode next time xxx 🥰

I find it hard to believe that she can swim but doesn't know how to dive.

Lol. Just because one can swim, doesn't mean one can dive. You've been here for a while Mark, and no doubt have certainly seen me dive a few times!!!! I FACE PLANT every time!!! HAHA.
