Olbia, Sardinia, Italy

April 23, 2025

Today’s stop is the Italian Island of Sardinia. Our Port City today will be Olbia, a city of approximately 60,000. There is a variety of sea ferries leaving from this port to several destinations on the Italian mainland. No tours booked today. We are only here till 2:30 this PM. We are taking a shuttle bus into town. It is only a 10 minutes ride to the drop off point. You would ask, why didn’t you guys walk? The reason we have to use the bus is, because we are not allowed to walk on the port property because of moving container trucks and fork lifts. After we got dropped off we walked up the main street, stopping to check out the inside of the church and peeking in the odd store. After walking for a couple hours we stopped for a cappuccino break accompanied by croissants. After coffee we followed the street down back to the harbour, making one stop for Gelato Ice cream, before we are to leave Italy.

For the afternoon, there is a 3PM announcement by the CEO of HAL cruises, announcing the program for the 2027 Grand World Voyage.  Interested??

This was a very nice smaller City to visit. It was well appreciated after dealing with the crazy crowds in Rome.

Cheers

Cor and Carol
