We spent the day relaxing on the beach, sleeping, frolicking in the clear water, combing the beach for seashells and of course working on our forearm tans. We also discovered that starfish are apparently very plentiful in the Mediterranean when Eli collected at least ten of them from the water.
We finished the day a little bit hangry and a little bit exhausted from the sun and ready for a good night's sleep. The next day, the group split up a little more. Some went to a nearby town called Pula, some explored Cagliari but some of us could not resist the pull of the Poetto for a second day. This time, after a more harrowing bus ride than the day before, we got to the beach and did a lot of the same activities as the day before, but this time added stand up paddleboards and a waterproof camera into the mix, which I think we all agreed were excellent additions.

This beach day was followed by the worst bus experience any of us had ever had which resulted in the group getting separated, a three hour wait for some, and Maggie, Dylan and Eli walking the 5+ miles back from the beach. After an exhausting end to an otherwise fun day, everyone went to bed pretty early.
Today, for my third day in a row spent on the water, we went on a mini-cruise in Villasimius. This included a lot of jumping off the boat, water up the nose, snorkeling, pasta cooked on board a ship for lunch, scrambling over rocks on various islands, stormchasing, seagull feeding, and several Titanic impersonations. Needless to say, it was another really terrible day in Sardinia (just kidding).
Contrary to what these pictures show, we did go to shore occasionally, I just swam to shore every time so my camera couldn't come.
So there you have it, another end to another weekend in paradise.
