Paulilatino - Fordongianus - Arbus

Logbook entry Captain Wim: You don't have to talk a lot to say something! It's time for the two sardines to look beyond the edge of the can.

For the past two days, the Captain has been confronting us with one cultural unit after another...

We first sailed to Paulilatino, where we were able to admire a well-preserved Nuraghe settlement and a finely built well dating back to around 1000 BC. The captain told us a lot about the worship of the well by various peoples and said that we could take a slice of the skills to cut and stack stones so precisely. We took diligent notes... The admiral was particularly happy about the visit to the small church of Santa Christina in the village - unfortunately, there was no Santa Björn church 😔

Then we crossed over to Fordongianus, a Roman-influenced town with thermal springs that flowed into a river. Before we could say 'blueberry pancakes', the captain was already sitting in the approximately 40 degree hot river water. Let's go after him... 🏃‍♀️🏃💨

We anchored the night on the river and the admiral and I treated ourselves to a Quatro Stagioni, a Completa, an Insalata Mista, as well as Verdure miste al la griglia from the local tavern... We plundered the ship's fund as if there was no tomorrow...

But there was! And when a fiery Italian noticed in the morning that I wanted to wash our coffee cups in the river while our towels were drying over the fence of the archaeological park, there was a magnificent Italian reprimand par excellence! I believe every sentence ended with the question 'capiche?'! We understood capiche and set sail! As we passed by, I rang the ship's bell again as a sign of a friendly farewell 🖕

The captain set course for Arbus on the Costa Verde. Here, fantastic dunes, a stalactite cave, and a lot of land without many people are waiting for us. Hm, you could also say we're anchoring at the ass end of the island! But with the captain, it will certainly not be boring 😑 Ahoy!
