Sunday 7th December – Cagliari (Sunday Market & Football)

39:12.064N 9:07.510E

 

After failing to get up really early we took Brian to visit the Sunday market but did manage to get there before it closed.  I bought some fennel and some onions, as you can’t go to a market without buying something.

 

On the way to the market we passed the football stadium and noticed that Cagliari were playing Palermo (Sicily) in the afternoon.  Back at the boat Richard and Brian decided to go and see if they could get in as Brian is an ardent football supporter.  So, after a hasty lunch, they headed back to the stadium whilst I tidied up Pyxis.  After queuing at the ticket office they finally managed to get some tickets and although they missed the kick-off they arrived in time to see Cagliari score.  At full-time Cagliari had won 1-0 and they came back saying ‘We won’ so it looks like Cagliari has two new supporters.

 

This evening we went out to dinner to another great pizza restaurant to celebrate Brian’s birthday which is tomorrow (but this restaurant is closed on Mondays).
