Sarsinia.

AstAfter a very delicious best western hotel breakfast......that was nothing like the best western American breakfast!  Fresh oj,  delicious coffee, croissants of every variety, chocolate, custard, coconut.Brushetta, egg, sausages, meats, cheese, toast, fruit, yogurt.
We had a few hours before our flight and went for a walkabout around the streets. I wanted to buy a new selfie stick as I anticipated a need for it in the coming days......we spied a street salesman and approached him....I pick one up and asked him how much...20 euros!!!!! I walked away!  Of course he runs after me.....and long story short I paid 6 euros, I had seen them them in Winners at home for $10 so knew where my pricing was at.
Soon we were in a taxi, the  rate to airport $50, for our flight to Olbia Sardinia.  Joanie , Jeff and I ,  were waylaid by the Swatch store..3 watches were purchased!
Our flight to Olbia was just over an hour and we were looking down on crystal clear turquoise water and the red tile roofs of scattered communities.
On arrival in Olbia we proceeded to pick up our rental car and with the gps attached we were off to find our rented villa in Punte Volpe,,,,,,,,a few wrong turns and we were there. We are right by the sea in a beautiful location with a canopy of Bougainvillia over the patio and a jasmine bush laden with blossoms giving off a heavenly scent.
The boys went off to purchase a few rudimentary groceries including wine and beer while Joanie and I unpacked and settled in.  We walked down to the seafront which is about 3 minutes from the house, what a glorious setting it is, complete with an outdoor shower for rinsing off the sea.
Soon Jeff and Graeme were back and we discussed our dinner plans over more cleansing drinks.
It was decided we should walk to the nearest restaurant as none of us would be fit to drive and taxis in this location at this time, just before the start of the summer season were non existent .  It was about a 15 minute walk and we had several restaurants  to choose from. We had a calzone and a pizza, bottle of wine, water and some kind of little dessert. The waiters were quite amused at my asking them to wrap up the few pieces of bread that we didn't eat...but seemed willing to comply. Imagine my surprise when at the end of of our meal they presented me with a new loaf of bread wrapped in Saran to take home!
The walk home was just what we needed and we arrived to finish yet another cleansing ale😛...... For some of us!
Tomorrow we will get more groceries and explore our surroundings more fully.
A fine Italian day!
