April 24th Suni to Cabras

After a lovely nights sleep and breakfast at S'Ena band b we headed downhill towards Oristano. Passed through a village with an amazing array of murals. Slightly concerned that the larder is bare. Sundays mean Sundays in Italy. Everything chiuso. Coffee stop near Cogliera, cheapest yet 90cents each! Still no food stops. Down to the coast and we spied a man with a paper, then found the paper shop and some supplies. Windy cycle along the coast, big waves. Blue skies though. Oristano reached, pretty quiet, no tourist info but worked out where the campsite was that opened on 1st of march. 10km cycle via big supermarket stop. Whole chicken purchased. Luckily. As we arrived at campsite to find it closed. No signs of any b and b's. Very very windy so concept of wild camping not appealing. Ate the chicken. Luckily found a very very lovely Parisian lady, who spoke great Italian and who helped us through a cafe that acts as tourist help to secure a nights accommodation in Cabras. And what a gorgeous place too! Sa Cottilla. Beautiful family home with out buildings with accommodation, but as they were all full we had a room in the house. We were offered a beer on arrival, so shocked we just said no and had a coffee. The host in turn was shocked at an Englishman refusing a beer, ha ha. Lovely chilled area to play scrabble. 1:1 back in the game!!!!!
