This is actually from yesterday’s boat trip that Mark wrote about, but I thought we needed one more picture from that incredible day.
Don’t you sometimes wonder: “Who are those people who sit in cafés in the middle of the day doing nothing?” Even if they’re on vacation, shouldn’t they be doing something? I’ve wondered that many, many times, but now I’ve learned: they’re ME!
Meat, cheese, salad, wine – I like these lazy afternoons!
Today’s our last day in Sardinia and – for now at least – our last day in Italy. We’re off to Corsica tomorrow, which used to be Italy until the Italians (who weren’t exactly Italians then, but that’s a longer story…ei) needed money and sold it to the French. So now it’s French, except still kind of Italian. We think. We’ll know more tomorrow.
At any rate, for our last day in Sardinia we took a boat to the neighboring island of La Maddalena and then biked to the still-smaller island of Caprera. Spent a little time on the beach and then it was back for a long, lazy lunch on La Maddalena. That’s all: boats, biking, and beaching. And cafés. There’s nothing not to like about this life.
The bike ride
The beach. I felt like Gulliver with those little people walking all over me!
This was totally bizarre – separate Ladies and Gentlemen areas on the ferry boat from La Maddalena to Sardinia.
And for the Gentlemen…
I wasn’t going to do this, but I promise, this is the last picture from yesterday’s spectacular boat trip
