CHRIS: Last day in Sardegna. Will see the murals town of Orgosolo and the fancy coast near Olbia before taking the overnight ferry back to Livorna. My ferry departs at 20:30 (8:30pm) from Golfo Aranci. Checkin cutoff for vehicles is 7:30pm, 1 hour before.
Orgosolo to the end is 3.5 hrs, so absolutely must leave Orgosolo by 4pm, plan to leave there by 2pm to have buffer to get dinner in Olbia. A bit of light rain in the morning, then an awesome ride in the mountains. Lots of cows and pigs.
Orgosolo murals were nice, but not quite what I was expecting. Walked around for about an hour. Then the ride down to the coast was really nice. Stopped at a couple of beaches. Encountered a bad traffic accident with helicopter evacuation just outside of Olbia.
Didn’t have much luck finding a walkable area of Olbia and wasn’t impressed by any mansions along the coast. Maybe I just missed the right roads? Anyway, made my way up to Golfo Aranci and found a restaurant that opened at 6:45 in time to have a quick dinner before ferry checkin. Then just half km to the ferry where I rode right on.
Found my room and figured out that a steward lets you in rather than going to a reception desk. Went to bed early as it was windy and cold on deck. Slept well in the absolute dark with the movement. Woke once mildly nauseous, but went back to sleep easily.
KATHI:
Sardegne 4th full day to Olbia and board the ferry
