Magaluf was another small village just up the coast from Raima and was the center of the night life. The HARD ROCK CAFE (left) was just one of the many popular spots. Since most dance clubs didn ' t start hoppin ' until well after midnight, it was common practice to pref- ace your dancing with a little drinking and a lot of begging at one of the smaller pubs. LT Brandewie does some work (below) at Papa ' s English Pub in Magaluf. All roads seem to lead to The BCM MUSIC EMPIRE in Magaluf (center). Reputedly the largest dance club in Europe, the BCM club was always packed, always loud, and always pumping until the wee hours of the morning. The BCM experience was enough to leave even seasoned veterans in a vegetative state for hours or even days. Other veterans, like Suppo (left) preferred to spend their free time relaxing in other ways. 41

MM1 Clyton, BT1 Davey Downtown Palma About 60 miles off the coast of Spain there sits Isle de Mallorca. Palma is the center of a huge tourism industry and has long been a favorite liberty port for sailors. CHARLESTON pulled into Palma in late March when the days were mild, the nights cool, and the water frigid. The major crush of tourists was a couple months away but the Easter holiday ensured plenty of activity. Scene ry was plentiful as evidenced by LT Corrado and LTJG Taylor (right) who can ' t help but notice some talent at a small pub in Magaluf. 40
