Sardinia

Arrived yesterday and managed to find my way around pretty easily so far. I am staying on a camp site at Alghero which is the main resort in the northwest of the island.. Alghero is resolutely Catalan dating back to the mid thirteen hundreds when Sardinia fell to Spanish invaders.

I strolled along the sea front to the old town centre watching a beautiful sunset at the same time. The centre is a maze of cobbled lanes, Spanish Gothic palazzi and then there is Porta a Mare. Full of jewellery shops, little boutiques and cafes, and just buzzes with life in the evening. A slice of pizza for supper and an ice cream for the walk home made for a perfect end to the day.

Today I will be using all my energy sunbathing and planning visits to some of the many sights to see including the Grotta di Nettuno.
