We arrived to find an amazing view of the water before venturing underground armed with nothing but our hard hats and a few flashlights, hoping not to find any ghosts of old miners or fire breathing dragons.
We emerged on the other side safe and sound and to a pretty spectacular view.
We headed back through the tunnel and spent a little time playing on the beach before heading to our next stop, an enormous lunch at a restaurant near the water.
Our next stop was the Temple of Antas, an ancient ruin nearby where we all got in touch with our historical sides, discovered a boy band in our midst, and of course got distracted by the local animal and tree species.
From there, we took yet another amazingly scenic drive to Agriturismo Sa Perda Marcada in Arbus where we spent the night. We explored the farm for a little while, where we met some chickens, horses, cats and the ugliest turkey any of us had ever seen, until it was time for dinner.
That night for dinner, we were served yet another amazing meal and spent the rest of the evening looking up at the stars, contemplating aliens and getting attacked by a hunting cat in the dark.
The next morning we got up and had a delicious breakfast, featuring the first eggs we've eaten since arriving in Italy. We then had a cooking lesson, led by the wonderful Elena, and made the pasta (gnochetti) and dessert (seadas) that we would later eat at lunch.
In between cooking periods we worked really hard around the farm (aka napped with puppies and played soccer with children).
Then for lunch we got to taste the fruits (aka pasta and cheese) of our labor. And they were pretty delicious.
After lunch we said goodbye to our amazing hosts and headed to the beach where we battled the cold and crazy waves for a couple of hours before heading back to Cagliari, sandy and sleepy.
