Alghero

Fresh grilled seafood!

Is Arutas, the quartz beach

View from our terrace in Cagliari

Hey hey heyyyyiii!! We got up early this morning, packed, left the airbnb in Cagliari, and started driving to Alghero. On the four hour drive there we had a few stops! The first place we stopped at was called the Nuraghe su Nuraxi, which is this old, ancient settlement- sort of like Pompeii! But you see, right before we were going to go in I got a reallyyyy bad migraine that I couldn't just push through so while everyone went to go see the nuraghe, I just stayed in the car and tried to sleep through the pain>:{{{{!! 

Once they got back after an hour or so we continued on driving for an hour to this really awesome beach called Spiaggia Is Arutus. By the time we got there I was feeling much better!!!!! ;)))!! Also on the beach there was this crazy seafood beach hut restaurant that we never even knew was there so it was a FANTASTIC surprise!!! The chef had out a grill and was just grilling up the fish, shrimp and other seafood right in front of us. Mmmmmmm nice and fresh!!!! Needless to say, we got a HUGE seafood plate and it was basically finished in under 5 minutes!!! It was SO GOOD and fresh and tenderrrrr. So we ordered another whole fish and 6 more shrimps!!! Hahhaha it was definitely worth it!! Also, at the restaurant guess who we saw??? Our friends from the boat tour last week!!!!! It was the same couple and we just coincidently bumped into them at this little seafood shack on the not so popular beach HOURS and HOURS away from the town we saw them at quite a few days ago!!!! Talk about fate!! 

After that 10/10 top notch but low key meal we walked down to the beach. This beach is special because the sand is made up of the pearl pebbles!!!! It's not sand - it's these shiny little pebbles! Oooooooo and at the beach I saw my new idol!!! It was this crazy dude wearing a long, red wig and dressed crazy and he was running around the beach and screaming in this really high voice!!! He was selling coconuts so he would scream at you to buy them and then run around throwing them in the air like a crazy person and pretending to cry when people didn't buy them. He looked like an IDIOT!! It was killing me! I was peeing from laughing so hard!! I just secretly followed him around the beach the whole time just to watch him act stupid!!!! Ohhhh Italians ;)!!! 

After the beach we continued on our long journey!! In the car Tobin, Nana Mary and I were all crammed in the back like always and Tobin was really sick!!! He had such a bad cough he would start barfing!!! And he kept telling dad to pull over cuz he had to barf but then he never did!!! Every time he got out of the car he would do this weird thrusting thing with his body cuz he said it helped him!! You know what it looks like when a dog gags and tries to throw up? Ya well he looked like that!!! I felt bad cuz the whole family were just laughing their heads off cuz Tobin looked so funny!! Sorry Tobin but that video I took of you is gonna be GOLD in the future!!!! Eventually he did throw up into this bag and then he kept it in the car and it was dripping everywhere and oh my it was DISGUSTING!!! It made me want to throw up!!! After a VERY LONG (and I mean it felt like it look 10 years) we FINALLY arrived in Alghero and Tobin FINALLY threw out that stupid barf bag!!!! 

Once we arrived we all took a rest and cleaned off. Oh we also we blew the whole electricAL system!! So mum and dad had to call the owner and figure that whole thing out!!! While they were doing that, Nana Mary, Tobin and I went out to go explore our little town!! It's so stunning here!! It's your classic quaint, little cobblestone Sardinian town!! There are so many little side streets with bakeries and restaurants and tiny little boutiques!! And the duomo here (huge church) is rainbow coloured!!! We have a perfect view of it from our apartment terrace!!!! 

While exploring, Nana Mary and I picked out some pizza to bring back home for dinner. The whole family enjoyed our tasty pizza on our beautiful terrace! After dinner it was pretty late but Tobin and I went out to this cafe beside our place and got a fruit smoothie!! They were fruitalicious and the people in there charged us 8 euro instead of 10 just because we cleared our table!! Sweeeeet!!!!! 

Back at the house everyone went to bed but Nana Mary and I stayed up and read our books very very late!!!!!!!! Goodnight party people!!! Remember to creep it real-mimirockzzz king Julian
