SARDINIA

 After the big HOLIDAY a weekend in Sicily, we set sail for the 2nd largest Island in the Mediterranean…SARDINIA.  We docked in the historic capital of CAGLIARI.  We got off the ship and joined a local guide for a walking tour on a very hilly and picturesque town. After the information and getting our bearings, Steve and I did our own things and walked all over exploring… we ended up in an area of the town that was definitely an immigrant relocation area, and many many N. African immigrants were there.

We met Simone for a typical Sardinian lunch, and as all the food in Italy…we were not disappointed. It doesn’t hurt that they always bring wonderful wine with the meals. It was a warm afternoon and we sat outside and people watched.  We could see our ship easily, but because of the heavy marine patrols and rules, it was not easy to get back to the ship. We had to pass thru customs and regulations each time we went ashore….it got old. 

Bruce had been feeling like he had a bad cold coming on, so he was staying aboard the ship. I was also feeling a little scratching throat…. But we had been so careful on this trip…Covid was not on my mind. The ship had strict rules and basically we were masked everywhere except our own staterooms….still, there were always some who didn’t quite mask up or were loosie goosie with the whole protocol….

Hmm…stay tuned.
