Ibiza to Mallorca by ferry?? We need to look! It will be important to know WHEN he was there, to see which comes first! Ibiza or Mallorca?

There is one possibility so far to do Majorca-Ibiza in a single day (mid-week) :
VIAJE DE IDA
MALLORCA >> IBIZA 20 de Junio de 2012
08h00 10h00
PALMA IBIZA
VIAJE DE VUELTA
IBIZA >> MALLORCA 20 de Junio de 2012
20h00 22h00
IBIZA PALMA
This is with http://www.balearia.com
This is the "light and fast" passenger ferry. Other ones take up to 4 hours to get from one island to the other.

As a one-time active aeronaut, I can offer some insights about the Chateau de Balleroy. http://www.chateau-balleroy.com/?lang=en The property was purchased by Forbes, Inc. during the lifetime of the late Malcolm Forbes, and was the base of much of his activity in both hot air and gas balloons. (He set some world ballooning records, btw) There are still major ballooning events held there, as I recall.
It has also been used for world gas and hot air ballooning championships. An annual event was held there for thirty years, but ended in 1999 after Malcolm's death.
TAR has had only one prior task involving ballooning (TAR Family Edition), but this would be the time of year to try for a task related to ballooning (even if it is just having teams go up on a tethered balloon up to an altitude to spot the location for the next route marker clue or task. Untethered hot air balloon "free' flights are flown in the two hours or so after dawn or the two hours or so before sunset as long as surface winds are at 10 mph or lower, and there are no thunderstorms in the vicinity. Tethered flights, which have a tether rope tied (or held down to the ground) can take place as long as the winds stay low enough or are calm.)
If the maze is on the Chateau property, then a task with both almost jumps out at you. And the fact that the Chateau is closed at exactly this time? Well, let's just say I don't believe in coincidences. :) It may not be, but I would not be surprised if it is.....

As a former Cultural Ambassador for Mexico at the Mexican Pavilion in EPCOT Center (WDW FL), many times I had to substitute for my friends in other pavilions when we were short of cast members, so I had to pretend to be from another country.
Many, many times I had to work overtime in the French Pavilion and had to "pghetend sat I vas Fghench" and to explain about these beautiful places which we have been talking about, and which years later I had the opportunity to visit.
The French Pavilion shows a short movie "Impressions de France"where the Chateau de Chenonceau, the hot air ballooning and Mont Saint Michel show up. Maybe WRP got inspired there.
Here's the movie http://youtu.be/dF3ADQndBGM
Chateau de Chenonceau comes up at 3'00
Balloons come up at 8'30
Mont Saint Michel comes up at 12'15
Enjoy!
