Sardinia Day One

Li-Ann and I had a pleasant trip out to Cagliari from Luton last night. We made sure that we were out there in plenty of time and so we had an hour to enjoy the new terminal at Luton - lots of new shops and eating establishments, very pleasant!

Flight down to Cagiliari took about 2 and a half hours. On arrival we took a cab to the very new and very flash T Hotel - it's a business hotel so has good weekend rates. Design is lovely and very modern.

Was quite late by the time we got here so we got changed and took a taxi into the old town where we had a quick wander and then went for some pizza and beer. The old town has lots of little lanes and a fortress at the top that I'm sure we'll explore more when we return here on our last night. We were both really exhausted so were eager to get to bed. We weren't sure how to get a taxi back to the hotel so asked who we thought were a couple of police how to call for one. They were actually guarding what must be the town hall here and one of them popped into the building and called one for us - bless!

We're driving up to Baja Sardinia at the top of the island tomorrow.
