Rather than taxi and train this time, we'll just take the bus direct. Looking at the TIB website it would seem the 301 is the route we want. Agree?

Buying tickets looks to be the same as on the train - we can swipe a debit or credit card on the bus? Alternatively, we can buy tickets in advance of the website and get a QR code to scan - the same price. I couldn't see a way to buy a return ticket though. Is that correct?

301 is correct. You tap your card as you get on the bus. If two of you (or indeed upto 5) tap the same card twice and it's cheaper (€5.40 for first person, €4.95 for 2nd so €10.35 for the both of you).

Remember you must also tap also your card for each person on the panel at the exit door as you get off.

Same process for the return journey.

Presume you made it there and back without any major contretemps.

How was the meal ? Worth the massive outlay in travelling expenses ?.

Got my dates wrong Julian. It's *this* Saturday we go to Fera.

We had another fantastic meal at Marc Fosh last weekend. Really delicious food with brilliant accompanying wines and excellent service - although mega expensive. Worth it? Jury's out - just back from la Fonda de l'aigua in Pollensa tonight which was fantastic and almost a quarter the price of MF !

Will do a full trip report next week...

unfortunately we didn't get to Fera in Palma. My partner took ill on the Friday evening and didn't feel up to travelling into Palma on the Saturday so we had to cancel our booking. Next time.
