THURSDAY, 14th SEPTEMBER : In CAGLIARI, Sardinia

We were late moving this morning but it didn't matter, we didn't have to go anywhere, no bikes to ride no motorhome to drive, no plane, train or bus to catch, so when we did start our day, we first took a load of washing to the laundromat 

which was closed and didn't open until 10a.m.  While wating for it to open, we went to a cafe for a late breakfast, after which we went back to the laundromat, loaded up the washing machine and wandered down to the port, whiling away the time by taking a few photos of the wonderful old buildings in the area

and meeting and chatting to an English couple from a cruise ship which arrived this morning    Once the washing was done, and folded and hung up back in the hotel, to avoid climbing up a very big hill to visit some of Cagliari's attractions, we caught a local bus and went walkabout again, and instead of bussing back down, we walked,

We stopped and bought ice creams in the Piazza Carlo Alberto. 

Through a couple of narrow alleys

and we'd arrived at the absolutely stunning Bastion of St Remy

It was not a long walk downhill then to our hotel for a rest and a cool down...it's quite hot!
