Again, I managed to wake up early as we were pulling into Olbia on the Italian island of Sardinia.

The first thing I saw when we pulled into port was a bright red Ferrari getting ready to board a ferry. Clearly, Sardinia is a popular weekend getaway for Italians.

We selected an excursion only for the afternoon, so we walked around Olbia in the morning, and I continued my photography of the picturesque door handles that I began after Christine commented on their beauty in Paris.

Being Sunday, most of the shops in Olbia were closed. It also explains the exodus of the Italian locals from this Italian resort island.

After our morning stroll, we returned to the ship for our excursion to La Cinta beach for the afternoon.

The weather was lukewarm and the water a bit cold, so we didn't swim very much at the beach.
