Our Last Night in Italy

For our last night- we had dinner in Arzachena with our friends Spencer and Lupe..

Picnic in Arzachena

Lupe and her kids and I took a drive to Arzachena and had a picnic in the field!

Arzachena and Nuraghe

My local Italian friend Nora took me for a trip to Arzachena to see a Nuraghe and to climb a mountain to see a middle Bronze Age (1500-1000 BCE) ruin of a Temple.

This is the Nuraghe Albucciu (Dated 1600 BCE)

This is the packing lot (Nora's car in the lot).. we're about to head down that road to the left and climb up that mountain back there!

Headed up toward the temple-- Called "Il Tempietto di Malchittu"-- Still Middle Bronze Age

Girls Trip!

{M}, {T}, and I {and Daisy the pup} took an afternoon trip. It was a brisk and windy day in Sardinia but we threw on a little jacket and headed out to see a few places. Since {M} was new to the area, we took her to a few of the local "Must See" places like the Nuraghes and local spots around town.

A Nuraghe is a a series of stone circles, some are full enclosures {almost like igloos} and some are more like walls. They date to about 2,000 years BC with the early man on this island. {CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE}

First stop was the "Complessi Nuragici Albucciu e Malchuttu" in Arzachena.

Second stop was a little mountain top overlook just outside of Porto Cervo.

Third Stop was Porto Cervo.

Anke's Visit (Day 7)

Today was a LONG travel day on a laundry list of places

We started out in the morning in Porto Cervo..

When we left, we headed into the hills of Arzachena to see a few sights.

Stop one was the "Tomba di Giganti di Lolghi" or Tomb of the Giants.

It was from the nuraghic age of Sardinia (1600-1200 BCE) and was a burial slab and stones.

A little further down the road was the Necropoli li Muri. It was a late Neolithic Era burial mound that was dated to about 3500-3700 BCE.

We left early in the afternoon and headed over to Santa Teresa where Anke immediately went for fresh fruit and Eike and I decided to get gelato! (We made the better choice!))

Then back to Palau and a ferry ride over to La Maddalena for a movie and drinks..
