Pula - Cagliari

Last night we had a great dinner with all the people that did the cycling trip with us. It was a lot of fun and very amusing as we had a waiter who spoke no English. He controlled us very well! This morning we jumped on a local bus and headed to Cagliari, which is the capital city of Sardinia. We said good-bye to our New Zealand friends and went on our separate ways. After settling into our hotel, went went to discover Cagliari. Another pleasant surprise. For a city of this size, we were very surprised how clean it was and still had lots of character. Many narrow, cobblestone streets, churches and old buildings. We wandered up to the Duomo, which is high above the city(lots of steps to climb, with sore legs). An amazing view! We will be sad to say arriverderci to Italy as we have had such a great time, but we do look forward to Pari for a few days. We will miss the food, and especially the gnocchi. We will have to adjust our heads to saying merci instead of graci, but are looking forward to Paris. We fly out from here tomorrow and will be in Paris a few hours later.
