The first few days Paola took time off work so we went all together, including her boyfriend Claudito. He was a sight! After these first days driving and singing in the car and playing with Claudito beach volley, Caro and I moved around on our own with buses. The first day, after the airport, we went to Cala Sinzias. Our skin color conversion started at that very second! From Impossible White to Beach Baby Tan. Another beach we visited was Solanas, which was quite full of people. This beach was good for playing water polo and things like that in the water, staying close to the shore.
Caro and I visited Chia (AMAZING), Costa Rei (Scoglio di Peppino, this was one of my favourite! Water was very very shallow and you could reach the main rock-island walking in water) and Villasimius (Cala Giunco and a nearby lagoon). In Chia we found our own small private beach, which was paradise.
There were tons of Senegalese guys in the buses with us, and they roamed the beaches selling stuff. It made me sad to see them carrying to much weight up and down, fully dressed under the scorching Mediterranean sun. That night we had pizza at the port with the neighbours and drove around looking for places to go dancing. We found a place called Alta Marea and the Miss Alta Marea Pageant was going on, so we watched the show. So many gorgeous girls competing to be Miss Alta Marea... so funny to see all of them and their acts, for something so stupid.
Typical Sardinian stuff we tried included malloredus (a type of pasta), culurgiones (delicious ravioli with potato filling! I loved them), and pecorino cheese. We also had tequila shots, they call them Tequilla Boom Boom there hehe. It was not even tequila, just a cheap version that tasted terrible! We also prepared Mexican molletes and they were a success.
I love the Sardinian landscapes. Emerald green, sapphire and aquamarine waters surrounded by cacti. |
