As we were leaving Bosa this morning we went down to the Bosa Port.
In July and August of this year Sardina had some huge wildfires. Today we drove through one of the areas that burned. It went on for miles.
We spent the night in a wonderful agriturismo. We had a kitchen so on the way we stopped to buy supplies for dinner.
At Agroturismo Dulceluna we had our own beautiful little hut with a view of the ocean.
. We went down to the beach.
Did laundry.
And had a great dinner.
Today was an uneventful day. We drove west and a bit south from the eastern coast of Sardinia to the western coast of Sardinia.
We started seeing cork production almost immediately. I don’t know what the proper word is for the mill we saw. When I see logs piled up I think sawmill so maybe when I see cork bark piled up in giant stacks it’s a corkmill?
We also saw lots and lots of trees that had their bark harvested and at least one truck hauling cork bark. In Portugal a few years ago we were told that they can harvest cork from a tree once every seven years.
In Bosa we checked into our hotel and went for a walk.
The restaurant where we ate dinner was packed, I suppose because it was Saturday night. I think most of the patrons were locals. It was fun to watch all the animated conversations and listen to all the Italian being spoken around us as people greeted each other and caught up.
