2012-10-20 – Cagliari

Due to recent threats against Americans in Tunisia, our stop in Tunis was replaced by a stop in Cagliari, Sardinia. We didn’t really know what to do in Cagliari, so we asked TripAdvisor. The #1 rated attraction is the Elephant Tower, which is a very old castle-like gate that used to be part of the city wall back when Cagliari was under the protection of Pisa. Presumably, the tower was given its name because of the statues of elephants that protrude from its facade. We walked up the hill to the tower, took some pictures, neglected to pay 4 Euro each to climb steps to the top, and then walked back down the hill. On the way back to the ship, we took a detour along a busy shopping street where we bought a cone topped with plentiful (but not particularly delicious) sorbetto. I don’t think either of us are planning a return trip to Sardinia.
