I headed into Cagliari today. I left the campground by 9 and was smack in the center of town by 11. The oncoming traffic was thick as residents fled the city in droves. Cars were lined up for miles like a string of smog belching pearls. I approached the industrial part of town on a four lane highway and rode through the obligatory tunnel. Cagliari was like a ghost town. I had it completely to myself. Everything was closed. I got myself a room in the center of town, and then rode around for a few hours exploring. Cagliari sits on a big bluff, on top of which stands a massive fortress. The hill slopes down to the busy port. There are lots of narrow windy streets in the center of town. It's very pleasant. That evening I found a nice outdoor cafe to have dinner. I'm gonna miss the seafood here.
