• Had another sleepless night. It’s 5:45am and I’m at Alghero airport after catching a bus from the old town in Alghero. I’ve spent the last 12 hours wondering and taking in the sights.
    Today I say goodbye to the sea and the Mediterranean. I’m headed west and south to another continent. Yes I’m bound for Fez in Morocco. The desert beckons me where I will be doing some travels by another form of ship - that is by camel - the ship of the desert. I’ve got the next 10 days travelling around Morocco and doing some fun things along the way. Also really excited about the change in scenery - blue to yellow - wet to dry.
    So my last day in Sardinia started really well with a beaut included breakfast at my digs in Castelsardo. It’s a very pretty place and the harbour town had a great vibe. I found the nearest car wash and spoiled Octavia with lots of detailing. She was ready for return in a much better state than when we met. The drive to Alghero airport was a very pleasant 70km trip. Said my last farewell to Octavia (I’m certain she flashed an indicator to me before I handed her back). All great with condition report so will receive a full bond refund. All up we travelled just over 1100km.
    Next I got my head around the bus service between the airport and Alghero. Purchased a return ticket and I was off to the old town centre of Alghero to kill 12 hours. So I just wondered and wondered around - had a meal and wondered some more. The festival of the Giants was quant and a bit of interest for everyone.
    Later on around 11ish I went into a quiet little bar to charge my phone and ended up staying there till 2:30am when it closed. Met an Irish couple and chatted to them while drinking Ginger Beer.
    My bus to the airport didn’t leave Alghero till 5am so had another few hours wondering and keeping awake.
    It was a long night - but it’s over and I’m now on my first flight about to land in Milan. Had a little sleep - but feeling ok.
    I’ve got a short stopover in Milan then fly directly to Fez. Not sure how long the flight is - hopefully I’ll get some more sleep.
