Sardegna travel

Itinerary: Luxembourg - Hahn - oush! with RyanAir - Alghero, Sardegna.
Learned lessons: don't rent cars from local companies, go open-hearted to a new place. Have no expectations.
Places seen: Alghero, Sassari, Bosa, north-west coast
Things liked: food (octopus, clams, fish, pizza and pasta in all flavors of the olive oil and chorizo, mozarella, ricotta), drinks (great house wines), preserved history (old town squares, narrow cobbled streets, old churches, the nuraghe), views (cliffs diving into the open sea, Capo Caccia with its 654 steps, sunset from the historical town in Alghero, the colorful old city of Bosa, the beaches). And last, but not the least, the ICECREAM!! Delicious! And the warm people.
Not-so nice things: the traffic (yes, still Italian driving and parking), some places looked really creepy and dirty, especially on the outskirts of Alghero, the siesta (almost everything is closed between 13 and 17).

Great trip!
