In my diary, dated Tuesday, May 22, 2018, I wrote:
Today I flew from Schiphol to Mahon. After arriving, I took the bus to Maó, and after doing some errands and such, I set off on the long-distance hiking trail. I walked about 20 km on the first day. I rested in the fields around lunchtime because of the heat. Then I continued walking. After a dip in the (cold) sea, I looked for a place to sleep. This turned out to be a dune valley.
The night was very humid. There's high humidity at night, and it's very hot during the day. In the morning, I had to let all my gear dry in the sun. I have to be careful of dehydration, overheating, and other physical challenges like fatigue and muscle pain. The first day I walked from Maó to Cap de Favàritx.
