I also called to say goodbye to Posh and Princess. Princess seemed to be manoeuvring for a hug or even a goodbye kiss so I preempted her with a manly handshake.
The journey to Cagliari was supposed to take 3.5 hours but I went the scenic route down the southern part of the East cost and it took me over eight hours, I am sure there was a lot of cursing going on behind me when I was driving at 20 mph or suddenly pulling over to look at the views but I am now convinced that Sardinia has one of the most awesome coasts I have ever seen, it may be helped by the blue sea and sky and the high 20s temperature doesn't hurt but for consistent jaw dropping views this takes some beating.
My landlady recommended a restaurant for my evening meal, it is number one on trip advisor and only seats 25 so that wasn't going to happen, I ended up in a pavement restaurant which was good, great cabaret from the locals, reasonable food but I made a basic wine mistake, I did an Adamson and asked the waiter what he recommended. You guessed it, I ended up with a very average over priced wine but my plan is to wind them up tomorrow have a beer or even water in their place and then just slip over one row into the next restaurant for my meal, petty I know but fun for me.
My landlady also told me that the town centre was only accessible by car or bus but I had a look on Google maps and it is only two and a half miles so I walked it and the good news is the knee is fine so far but what a different perspective I got of all the locals going about the everyday lives.
More exploring tomorrow.
