Having thought we d been very clever to avoid the mountains in Corsica and opted for Sardinia we've realised there are some serious hills in Sardinia. Our long day to Oristano will be two days now. WeLæs mere
Race for the ferry!

Cagliari

Ostia

We ve made it to the outskirts of Rome where we have checked into a hotel for a few nights to recoup and relax, and eat something other than pizza / pasta or bread! Found a great little seafood place
Ostia Antica
