Most of our day was spent at our hotel, indoors and out. Weather in Sardinia continues to be very summery. We went looking for a place for dinner, but we were looking at an “off” time of the day – too late for lunch and too early for dinner. The restaurant we found that was open was a seafood restaurant – apparently family owned and operated. Three of the four men working there looked like they were related – probably brothers – dark curly hair, short and stocky build. Very friendly – no English, and they treated us like an Italian grandmother would treat her grandchildren at meal time. They served a seven course meal (Including octopus, anchovies, kippers, shrimp, spaghetti, deep fried fish, oysters, snails, and on and on!) with huge portions (we turned down three of the courses and sent back some of the appetizer plates, despite their urging us to eat more). As we waddled toward the door they met us with a glass of mirtus, a Sardinian liqueur, which we drank of course. When we got back to our hotel and were sitting around feeling stuffed we remembered wistfully that had we been home we would have been enjoying seafood as well because tonight is the night of the Highview lutefisk dinner. We just can’t make it to everything, I guess!
We’ve reorganized our luggage and are ready to head to the airport tomorrow. We stay in Dublin tomorrow night and fly home from there on Monday. We discovered that the cheapest way to fly to Europe was to fly round-trip, so our flights were in and out of Dublin.
Our last day before heading home was a quiet day reading, stitching, taking a walk, and just relaxing!
