Tuesday .....Market Day in Olbia

Today after breakfast we went into town for theTuesday market. We had learned the location from the information Center. It as your typical town market, lots of vendors selling chest, meats, all kinds of fruit and vegetables. There was also sellers of just about everything else you could think of. Lots of clothing, linens, household goods, cell phone accessories, African baskets. 

We loaded up on fresh vegetables, cheese and cured meat. Joanie and I also made a purchase each....where my fine bargaining skills came into play! Ha!  Jeff and Graeme had enough of the market so with bags of produce in hand they went off to search out a coffee bar. 

We came back to our abode and made a large antipasto platter with fresh bread for lunch. 

It was a very windy day and we spent the rest of it at our beach on chaise lounges sleeping and reading.

Soon it was time for Jeff and Graeme to drive to the airport to pick up Sandy and Mike arriving from Vancouver. They were staying at the San Marco Hotel in Porto Rotondo.. 

A very lovely place a five minute drive from us in Porto Volpe. They left them to settle in and drove back to our place, then the four of us walked into town to meet Sandy and Mike for dinner. 

Dinner was delicious, salads, seafood pasta, veal, red and white vino......all presented with style. 

after a great catch up evening with lots of laughs we were all ready to call it a night. Sandy and Mike tired from their long flight.

Joanie, Graeme, Jeff and I walked home and hit the hay after.......a cleansing ale of course!
