| Once back in the water, we rented a car to explore northern and central Sardinia with our cruising friends, John and Sharon. Early Saturday morning, May 27, we drove three hours across the mountains to Fertilia, just north of Alghero on the northwest coast of Sardinia, to pick up John and Sharon. From there we visited Sassari, Sardinia�s second largest city, and nearby the Church of the Santissima Trinita de Saccargia, an impressive Pisan-Romanesque church constructed during the 12th century. Later we visited one of the Bronze age �Tomb of the Giants� at the Nuraghic site near Arzachena. This tomb was actually an ancient burial ground fronted by what seemed like a giant�s door (believed by archeologists to be a door separating this life from the next). Before stopping for the night in Posada, we visited Porto Cervo and San Teodoro. |
