Bellissima Cagliari 16 Oct 2019 Bellissima Cagliari 16 Oct 2019 Cagliari, Sardinia Italy --

Today's sights include an underground church that doubled as a WWII bomb shelter, a botanical garden, and the long boardwalk that skirts the port of Cagliari. Cuisine-wise, breakfast is quiche and cappuccino, dinner is Kyrgyzstan. The Kyrgyzstan turned out to be one of the best meals of the trip. If Cagliari is a preview for the rest of Sardinia we'll be good.
