Olbia, Sardinia, Italy
Will I get any Slovakia pictures posted while I am still in Slovakia?
Looks like a toss-up at this point.
Today's crop is from Sardinia, the first half of May..
I forget who mentioned Sardinia to me. But I had never been there, and there
were cheap flights from Spain. It sounded like a dancing lesson
from the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Sardinia is a big island with several regions. After some googling,
I chose to explore Olbia, in the northwest of the island.
Got a room on an upper floor of what proved to be a nice indie hotel.
That squarish white tower across the water is the control tower at Olbia Airport.
A plaza and a street were landscaped with sheets of actual grass turf, and
- dare I say it - shrubberies! These disappeared before I left the island. Here
is the street one going in.
And the Piazza Regina Margherita, around the corner from my nice hotel.
The arguable main tourist street, sloping down to the harbor.
And a side street.
I milked this fountain for a lot of shots.
Here are two.
Eye of the World
Street art decorated several sides of what could have been a boring parking
area behind some buildings near the station.
The borderline-dyslexic part of me really wanted to take this sign as personal
encouragement. On warm days, it faced me at an ice cream and pastry cafe.
Let's go out with some old-fashioned fun in black and white!
