Villasimius September 28th

Part of Arbatax harbour

Having had a recovery day yesterday we decided today we could be a bit more adventurous and take a car journey.  We looked on the map and plumped for Arbatax - a small harbour town about 50 miles up the coast.  The car travel went largely trouble free - there seems to be very little traffic at this time of the year.  We stopped at Tortoli as we approached our destination and had a look round a typical Sardinian town.  We bought some provisions (gin and tonic), had a bathroom break and then proceeded to where we were aiming for.  It seems quite a nice little port town and we are glad we paid a visit.  After taking some photos and having another natural break we decided to make our way back where we belong.



our dining scenario

It took nearly 2 hours each way (some of the roads are not great and their speed limits are all over the place).  We arrived at the hotel and set up to partake of some of the recently purchased provisions as we sat on our patio.  We noticed there were some parrots roosting in the date palms outside our room

The light was now fading and so we went to the restaurant for a very atmospheric meal al fresco style.  We shall see what the weather brings tomorrow and make a decision on the activities.
