..and pizza again

October 7th: Saturday

To get an idea of how important food is to Sven and me, this day can give you an idea of it.

I had wanted to take the ferry to La Maddalena and explore the old town a little.

After spending the last few days on the beach, we needed a change.

Shortly after 11 we were on la Maddalena and walked into the old town to browse the shops and maybe find some ice cream. Michel fell asleep in the carrier with Sven (after he no longer wanted to look at the world from below from the Thule) and we decided to have lunch there. The pizzeria from the suburb actually wanted to honor us again, but a sleeping child at lunch is worth its weight in gold.

Easier said than done. It's low season, many restaurants weren't open and the few that offered lunch couldn't serve pizza. And Sven and I avoid fish (for the sake of the environment).

After wandering around the city for 45 minutes, we decided to take the next ferry and eat in Palau. Hoping that Michel would still be asleep by then. He actually did that and when he woke up, my pizza was almost eaten and the child was still so overslept that I was able to enjoy the remaining two pieces with him in my arms.

We weren't disappointed and the pizza actually tasted a little better this time.

We also left a few euros at La Maddalena: Sven treated himself to a shirt, I got a handbag and we both ate two scoops of ice cream.

We didn't want to miss out on a visit to the beach today and went on a short trip in the afternoon.

This was to be our last evening at this fantastic campsite. We had planned an early departure for tomorrow and (regardless of that) went to sleep promptly. At least one of us would probably dream of pizza and gelato.
