SO! Then we arrived in Cagliari, and had to kill some time while Enrico finished his day at the beach. We chucked our luggage in the local bus terminal’s luggage storage for a bit of cash, then ate some self-prepared lunch and decided to go for a wander. We found ANOTHER tourist info place, got a map, and then legged it. Cagliari as far as we can tell from our small adventure is a very pretty place. Unfortunately for some reason while we were walking around it started to get hot. Very hot. Not only that, Sardegna has shade poverty, and that means that fishies get over sweating like a paedophile in a pre-school very quickly. After walking along a castle wall for a good ten minutes, I got sick of trying to find a way ... read more

Photos are on Flickr at April 2009 NYC-Sardinia-Madrid Day - Thursday April 16 I arrived at my niece's on Long Island yesterday after a 2 hour delay in Philadelphia. She lives in Ronkonkoma. I went into NYC today. She of course went into work much earlier. Her neighbor took me to the train station at 9 because I had to meet the tour group at noon. I rode the LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) for over an hour passing garbage strewn all along the right of way. There were many building adorned with the latest graffiti artist's work. We stopped every 5 to 10 minutes at stations with names like Ronkokoma, Wyandach, Islip and Bethpage.The scenery was all people, cars, trucks, buses, buildings, housing developments, and the only open spaces were cemeteries. The train was relatively ... read more

4.4. Takaisin Cannigioneen Matkasta kohti Sardiniaa tuli alusta asti hiukan haasteellinen. Lauantaiaamuna Henkka oli tulikuuma ja hyvinkin seesteinen. Kuumemittarilla todettiin, että lämpöä oli yli 38. Mitään muuta ei sitten ollutkaan, ei flunssaa, ei vatsavaivoja - eikä isommin energiaa. Kunhan sitä vain piteli sylissä, se oli helppo matkaaja. Lentokenttäbussiksi osui 828, jossa tuntui olevan hyvin vähän jousituksia jäljellä. Oltiin kyllä varauduttu antamaan Larelle pahoinvointilääkettä Sardinian vuoriteille ja merelle, ei arvattu kuitenkaan että se kalpenisi jo ennen Stuttgartin kenttää... onneksi huono olo jäi viherrykseen. Kone oli täynnä saksalaisia kiipeilykerholaisia ja lapsiperheitä. Kun päästiin ulos Olbian kentältä, siellä oli KESÄ! Oli t-paita keli, ruohoa, puissa lehtiä! Kenttä oli kuten ennenkin, luonnottoman siisti ja rauhallinen italialaiseksi paikaksi. Paikallisbuss... read more

April 2, 2009 Today we got a good start on the day. It was really hard to wake up this morning, but we got up anyway in time for our continental breakfast. Even though there was more of selection here than in Paris, the baguettes and jam in France beat this breakfast. We got back to our room and got ready and then soon met up with the other room. Hollie found a supermarket very close by, so we went there to get groceries and snacks for the day. We were able to take a shuttle from the hotel to city center for only 25 euro! Amazing! (I paid 3.60 for bus.) The guy dropped us off and we wondered around. We attempted to find the beach, with no luck. We walked for a good couple ... read more
