Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy 6th September 2011

An Ancient city with a long history, Cagliari has seen the rule of several civerlisations.  It is Sardinia’s economic and industrial hub, having one of the biggest ports in the Mediterranean.   The old part of the city lies on top of a hill, with a wonderful view of the Gulf of Cagliari.  The Poetto beach stretches for 13km and was famous for its white fine-grained sand.


We were in Sardinia about 5 years ago, in the north of the island, when we got to see a lot of this large, picturesque island.  This time we only had a short stop here – all aboard by 1.30pm. 


The day we arrived there was a large protest march, that was part of a nationwide strike in Italy.



After the last few hectic days, we decided to take it easy here – Jimmy got a haircut and admired all the boats in the harbour, I spent most of the time in an internet café and Charlotte decided to stay on the boat and play at Club HAL. 

That night we all went to Formal Night.
