Punta Volpe .....Porto Rotondo

This morning we all slept in .....a little. We had to go out for coffee, we couldn't find the one our landlord recommended but did find one with a nice outdoor patio. We each had to have two in order to equal the approximate size of one in Canada. After coffee it was back to the house where I found out by asking a young man that today was market day!!!! Markets are generally over by noon or 1pm and time was a-wasting! We were back in the car heading into Olbia, interesting little side roads kept popping up but I was adamant that we continue into town before we missed the market, my reasoning being that the interesting little roads would still be there.......later!
Well, we missed the market but had a nice stroll around the pedestrian only street of the town, looking for the market. The market was not to be found, we did find several gelato stores and finally an information bureau. The girl in the bureau gave us information re the important historical places, churches, museum etc that we should see. She also told us the market was about 30 minutes from our location and would be over by the time we walked there....but the good news, there is another market on Tuesday, so we will not miss out.
Strolling back to our car we entered an interesting church which looked quite old on the outside, the inside was from a much later period as the frescos on the walls were decidedly newer.
Our next stop on the way back to punta volpe was a supermercado for groceries, vino, etc. Then home again, home again! A quick stop at a beach for a cold glass of wine for the girls and beers for the guys.....the crystal clear turquoise water is a picture to behold! You could rent a chaise and an umbrella or sit under the pergola at a table and just enjoy the gorgeous view....and the few topless bathers. Leaving the beach we were able to get a small plastic bag of ice from the bar to take with us. Ice being in short supply in our small fridge.
Drinks at our beach and a good  book in hand before dinner were in order.
We could get use to this life!
