Oops a bit late 28/29 combined

Sorry about that, I have been relaxing… we stayed home on Thursday and had a day around the pool, swam in the ocean (so salty my feet kept floating to the top even when swimming). Lulu adored being able to just walk in and frolic in the mediterranean, with an almost flat calm. Beth and I braved it first, honestly like bath water, and then Suzie and Lulu had a dip for ages. Kel chose to keep the pool going and we read, sunbathed, relaxed.
Late afternoon/nighttime is a real issue here with the mossies, and it was my turn to be attacked. We went to Pula for dinner to have a look around because the shops shut from 1ish to 5ish in Sardinia, so did a little shopping. Nearly all of us purchased something, then off to dinner, and lucky Lulu and I took the mossie spray with us, because jeez they were diabolocal. I seemed to have been bitten under my chin and in my elbow creases…which has cause an allergic reaction! Bloody hell they are bad. Rubbed every single cream I owned into them but not much relief. So this morning was bigger doses of antihistamines and steriods which has improved them alot. Not much sleep and today we planned to be off to the market in Cagliari, have a long lunch and then just nibbles and drinks.
So off we trot with our €90 taxi into town, and he duly takes us to the markets…. is a bloody food market, and the ‘clothes’ something like you might find on the streets of Marrakesh. So all opted out of that, and went and had a coffee.
We then decided to go back to our ‘hood’ (familiarity is comforting when ya have no idea where ya are), the girls were asking a shop assistant, but she was pretty limited in English so came out of the shop and Beth is chatting with a young man pushing his baby around and he spoke fluent english and gave us directions to either walk to the Old town Square or catch a bus.
Followed said instructions and spotted the bus stop so dived over there as the No. 1 arrived. Girls get on, Lulu is asking questions, horns are tooting behind us, ‘get on Diane’ said Kel so
he can shut the doors, and he starts driving off! Lulu is say ‘Old Town’ he is shrugging so I showed him the google translater….. ding ding ding… he says ohhhhh olD town, emphasis on the D…he thought she was say ole town or something. No wrong bus. you needed to catch the bus on the other side of the road. So off we get at the next stop, walk around the corner and bus arrives. Off we go. And yes it took us all the way to exactly where we wanted to be. Phew…could of ended up anywhere.
Decided lunch was in order.. changed restuarant from the other day…and then wished we hadn’t. Wasn’t awful but we have had better.
some would shop, Kel wasn’t feeling inclined so she was left with the currency card and would top up our stocks.
Simone our private taxi 🤪 was messaged, ‘the girls are ready’ and off we went. Of course we forgot that most of the shops were closed for siesta and the ones open we had seen the other day. A couple of smiling faces at the end, but the rest of us were just ready for home.
Came back and there are people in next door (the other half of the villa) and they have kids, and they are swimming in ‘our’ pool. Not happy campers. We knew an ‘Aunty’ was coming, not 2 families. So 4 adults and 5 kids… and as I write this at 9.34pm they have decided to go swimming 😩
Suzie and Kel of course want to see the All Blacks play but even tho its vs Italy, nobody in Sardinia could give a rats arse about it. So kiwi ingenuity to the fore…We have set up a messenger video call with Suzie’s sister in Timaru, she has her camera set up facing the tv and the girls are watching on the ipad here. Mad I know, but hell it works. Beth, Lulu and I are in our beds… not as keen a fans as we thought 😝
Note the full body mossie armour this evening 🤣Читать далее
Путешественник Pool looks so good!
Путешественник Very wet and windy day here - just had hail!! ❄️
Путешественник Raging southerly and 5 metre swells in Wellington today after 100 kph gusts from northwest yesterday. Auckland getting hammered too I believe so great time to be away. Two families with kids in situ would def have rained on your parade.
