February 27th - March 1st
This weekend I decided to spend with a couple friends (Lauren and Kayla) in the gorgeous seaside city of Alghero, Sardegna (pronounced as Sard-een-ia). Sardegna is an island off the coast of Italy and considered Italian territory. We left on Friday morning, took a train to Pisa to catch the direct flight to Alghero. The flight on the way there was beautiful. Clear skies allowed us to see the ocean and the bright blue water. Once we reached Alghero we had a transfer from the hotel pick us up. We stayed in the Hotel Angedras Alghero. Very nice hotel for the price that we were able to get it at. I think it was about 129 Euros total for three of us for two nights and we all had our own beds. So yeah pretty sweet set up. Our hotel was only about a five minute walk to the coastline. Oh man Alghero was gorgeous. It used to be an old medieval walled city and much of the remnants of the city reflect its historic period. The city itself was pretty empty since it is still considered the off season for tourism, but in the summer when it is warmer that place must be swamped with people. Friday we just relaxed and walked through much of the town. On Saturday my friend Kayla and I decided to get a haircut and we chopped off all our hair. While none of the hair stylists spoke any English and we were praying that it would go alright, the haircuts actually turned out great. We were both very pleased with the results. Saturday afternoon we spent packing a picnic and biking along the Sardinian coastline. We were able to rent bikes from the hotel for only 5 Euros for the day. We biked to a little sandy private beach and had an amazing picnic on the water. Definitely one of my favorite things I have done since being in Europe so far. It was so much fun. That night we went to a little Italian restaurant in one of the little alleyways and had some bomb seafood. Nothing like the fish and chips we had ordered in Milan (refer to previous blog post). On Sunday (my actual birthday) we sadly had to leave and fly back to Pisa and then get the train back to Florence. But overall it was an awesome weekend and definitely one of the coolest ways to turn 21. Best birthday weekend ever! Cheers to everyone back home. I am currently on spring break and would love to catch up with anyone back home since I have some free time. Let me know! Sending you guys lots of love and I miss you all! I will be updating very soon! Ciao for now.
