tApril 25th Oristano on train to Cagliari, then cycle to pula

Decision made to grab train to south where we knew campsites def open. Countryside around Oristano very flat and industrial anyway. Fab breakfast first, cake an Italian tradition it would seem, at breakfast time. I will take that when we are cycling. Train caught, very cheap for a 1.5 hr journey. Not terribly easy to get bikes on, no real space but the conductor sorted us out. Cagliari seems nice and acquainted ourselves with port for Friday and then headed out. HORRID road out of town. Unable to find alternative. Once of that, chilled cycle to a lovely campsite on a lovely beach. Very friendly staff who sussed out the next campsite was open for us. Giro scrabble with a couple of beers 1.50 euro each! And very nice too. 1:2 team KP. 7:6 in total to team French.

April 27th Rest day 

Gorgeous day. Weather beautiful. Cycle into Tuelada stock up for evening, lovely coffee at cheap cafe then back to camp. Wash done old fashioned way as machines 'caput'. Dave down to marina to do painting then chill on beach. Scrabble early evening. 2:2 Giro. Supper then bed. Hopefully not to be awakened by army reconnaissance which appears to be happening just over the hill at the end of the beach. 

April 28th Tuelada to Pula

Lovely cycle out of Tuelada after nice coffee at our regular, almost had them on the counter as we walked in. 6km steady climb. Slightly overcast but that made it all the more pleasant. Made good speedy progress back to Pula campsite. Settled back in as though we had never been away, greeted like old friends. Dave worked on his paintings whilst I have started Duolingo, Italian. Determined to have more language ability here, feel rubbish with just random words.
