Day Three Even if the Weather does not collaborate…

Day three turns out to be a nice day as the rest of the trip. I know, by Italian standards today’s temperatures and weather are not what you would call ideal.  Barely 24 – 25 degrees Celsius and a bit windy, but no rain and really, a lovely sky indeed…definitely not the outlook for a summer day that the locals would be proud of.

We still made it to the beach – two in fact. The first brief step in the morning on the way to get some milk at the store and then on our way to visit lovely caves with what we learned is the tallest stalagmite in Europe.  You will see by the pictures how everything in here is so different from home (Canada) and yet so lovely to experience as usual when in Italy.

After a brief stop by the second beach (no sand here – but little small stones) with a nice quick Panini lunch, we headed for a special place: Dorgali – La Grotta di Ispingoli. This wonderful cave is home to the tallest stalagmite in Europe – over 38 meters tall. They would not allow official picture taking in the cave, but I stole a few seconds with a small camera just to tell the tale and picture it for posterity. Hope this will not get me in trouble in the future!

Italy is playing against New Zealand as we speak – even game so far, not the best they have played to date, but the world games have just begun.

We are planning a calm dinner at home, with Spaghetti Aglio e Olio e Peperoncino and maybe an outing later one to discover some sweet sides of Sardinia (I hear they have many).  Unfortunately the connection I have does not work its best here, so the blog updating takes forever. If you read this and can view the pics it means it worked after all.
