Sardinia

Goodbye Italy, hello Sardinia!

Our last view of Vesuvius, which has dominated everything for the last two weeks!

But isn't Sardinia in Italy?  - Well that's a moot point…

We've come to Sardinia on a singing adventure with a choir put together by Stuart Davis. Great fun so far, and what a talented bunch they are too. A little bit of homework, three or four rehearsals and we're having our first public performance in Cale Gonone tomorrow evening. I'll post some video of it if i can get some. Here is the poster on the town notice board!

Sardinia is breathtaking. The days have been HOT, and we've had a dawn swim out the bay and then snorkelling, in between rehearsals.

The food is great and the views incredible. Gone are the tourist crowds, apart from some late season Italians and Germans, and everything is so much more relaxed now.

The mountains are high and the clouds low!

Here is a view from our Hotel rooftop bar, right on the beach.

This town obviously has a very vibrant local lifestyle and last night we enjoyed a walk to the other end of town along the promenade in search of a fabled gelato shop! Discovered some fantastic beachside restaurants with actual reasonable prices! Oops, gotta go rehearsal in 10 mins. I'll have to get back to you.
