Cagliari (Day 2) Sardinia, italy

We had attempted and failed dismally yesterday in walking to the Flamingo park on the outskirts of town. With a bit of research by Brett we tackled finding this elusive park (as elusive as its inhabitants) by a short bus ride from town where it was decided that the only guaranteed way of a possible close encounter was taking the English guided tour.

A valiant effort by the guide to convey the history of the land (salt works) and repurposing it as the ideal breading ground and home to some 10,000 Flamingo’s and many other water bird species, all in broken English

we then topped off the day with the “free” guided walking tour of the old town. Whilst very passionate about the history of Cagliari (with a tremendous bias towards Sardinia over the rest of Italy). He unfortunately had lost us 15min into a 2hr tour as we grappled with information overload!

Maybe a quieter day might be in order for tomorrow?
