I've rounded the corner and I'm headed for home. The sun now sets over the mountains instead of the sea. I have two more nights in Sardinia. I'm now only 90 Km from Cagliari, my final destination. I'm slowing down and preparing for the end of my trip. Today was an easy ride out of San Antioco and around the southern part of the island. I met an Italian girl this morning who was cycling around half the island with a friend. She had done the New York Five Borough Bike Tour last May. It was a three hour trip today under cloud cover. I could have gone so much further. At noon, the sun came out in full force as I arrived at the campground. I took a nap in my hammock, followed by a lunch of olive bread, pane carasau, and beer. I miss having a book to read. I should have brought three. Afterwards I hit the beach- or rocks actually, which I prefer. First I tried the south side of the bay and followed the sun north. I shared my perch for over an hour with a spoonbill who was busy grooming itself. I considered swimming out to the island, a large rock formation resembling a sleeping giant about a 1/2 mile off shore. After my experience the other day, I couldn't convince myself, especially considering I'd have to swim back. But it was tempting.
