Day 6: The big city by the sea

After a morning run through some of the nearby hills, we checked out of Ulassai and headed back down south, taking the slow and scenic road (SS125) down in the valley between the mountains.

Early morning in Ulassai

Goat art high up on the cliff

Our eco-friendly hotel room with great big windows!

The drive along SS125 was colored by wildflowers of all shades of green and yellow

Past Muravera we stopped to visit the Nuraghe Asoru by the roadside (10th-8th centuries BC)

The inner courtyard (people were very tiny back then)

Seth was embarrassed to take this photo of me with the nice cactusBack on the road, winding through the southeastern Sette Fratelli mountains

We finished our grand tour of Sardinia by returning to Cagliari. We checked into our little B&B--located in a residential area on the edge of town--early enough to take the bus into town for the afternoon.

After a full week, our last meal of cold beans and tomato sauce with bread! Thank god.
Lots of Easter eggs!

This is where we bumped into the couple from Luxembourg that we met at the Coop hotel in Oliena (they were the only other guests at the hotel).

A great view from the Bastione San Remy
