What had…
It was meant to be a perfect final morning on a sun-drenched Mediterranean island—a day of last swims, salt-tinged laughter, and the bittersweet packing that always comes with the end of a holiday. For one British family, enjoying the last hours of their week-long stay in Menorca, the idyllic cove…
