CHRIS: Left at 8:30am and had a little confusion riding out of Cagliari, but then the ride was nice.
The weather was getting really warm 28°C to San Sparte. Got breakfast there then walked around taking pictures of murals. Tried to get an oil change, but couldn’t communicate with the shop owner. He wanted to sell me the oil, turns out they don’t do oil changes, only sell lubricants.
Stopped for a grocery store lunch of banana, milk, bread, and salami at the town of Scalepranu. Some people parked next to my bike and we had some communication difficulty. They were asking if I would be able to get out of the parking lot OK, but I thought they were telling me I can’t park there.
Lots and lots of wild flowers. I tried to get a picture of the scooter in a field of flowers, but got myself stuck. Was pretty scared for a few minutes that I’d be there for a long time or drop the bike, but I managed to get it out. Heart was racing. Then some of the best riding of the whole trip, from km 100 to 170 on ss387, sp53, ss198, ss389 into Tortolì.
Military base on top of the hill is restricted access. Got gas, then sp27 up to Bed & Breakfast Aria One Villagrande Strisaili. Place is incredible stay and had dinner at Pizzeria la tavernetta. Best pizza of the trip, Gorgonzola e noci and a wonderful (huge) tiramisu. Fabulous view from my room balcony. Shortening the day was very good.
KATHI:
Sardegne 3rd full day to San Separte and Totoli
