Olbia, Sardinia

Sardinia didn’t work out quite as we had planned. We were in town on a Sunday so all the shops were closed. No busses were running, and there were no cabs around. It was 30 miles to the nearest nice beach, so we walked around and looked at the closed shops for a while with the kids and had some gelato. We went back to the boat and went swimming for a while, and then Neil and I headed back to check out the city a little more. Not much was going on, but we wandered around and stopped at a café and had some wine and olives. We had dinner that night at Animator’s Palate. The room starts out black and white, and then it slowly becomes colorful during the meal. It was Hayden’s favorite restaurant so far. It was probably a good thing we were forced to have a relaxing day since the next morning was Rome and we were planning on being there all day.

Hey Guys,

I am so envious. It looks as though you are having a great time. I was so excited to see that you went to Montserrat. We thought it was incredible. I have been very interested in all of your Italy comments as that is our trip next year. When you go to Monaco, be sure to go up where the palace is. You get some great views of the city and the Med. You can get some good deals at the shops up there. Try a mozzarella, basil, and tomato panini for under $3--delicious. Have fun and thanks for including me in your trip.
