Cagliari

The view of Cagliari from the tower

Creepy hands dragged up from the sea

Tiramisu heaven at the Antico Café

My new favourite treat!

Sa Calonia beach in Chia

Ÿoÿoÿo everyone it's Mimi!!!! This fine morning we got up and went to a cafe where we got our breakfast for FREE!! It was all paid for from the owner of our apartment! Yipee!! We all got SUPER TASTY pastries and after that they kept just bringing us more stuff we never even asked for - like pudding!!! Hahahaha I like their style! 

After breakfast we were planning to go to the beach but the second we got in the car (and trust me, that takes a while to do) it started POURING. Which I mean I love the rain so I immediately got excited but this meant we couldn't go to the beach!! Instead we thought we would take a train tour of Cagliari! So we went back inside, put on our rain attire (I finally got to wear my comfy leggings and "The Who" t-shirt, my classic outfit I've been DYING to wear all trip) and went back out into the rain. But then can you guess what happened when we went outside? It stopped raining and got really hot!!!!! This time we weren't going to give up on our plan though! We went to take these elevators that take you to the top of the walled old city to catch the train (you can only get there by elevator) but now guess what happened?!! The elevator was broken!!!! Ahahahhaha of course!!! Once again, we changed our plans!!! Now we started walking to the huge ancient museum!! But the museum was ALSO closed! Jk, I think we would all collapse if it was closed we would be so angry!! I'm glad we ended up coming to the museum because I really enjoyed it!! It was an anthropology museum, with TONS of ancient artifacts! My favorite exhibit was this one where they scooped up all the old bits of statues and busts from the bottom of the lake. Like parts of clay arms and faces and hands. I don't know if that makes sense but it was very interesting!!!! 

After walking in the museum for a while and looking at all the intriguing artifacts we went up this tall tower!!! To get to the top you walked up all these old, not very stable wooden stairs that surprisingly weren't that tiring!! At the very top we got a 10/10 #swaggy view of Cagliari! The wooden barrier at the top wasn't that sturdy so of course I kept rocking it and scaring everyone and mum had to leave. Also I kept hitting Tobin with my map and got in trouble. Wow that view at the top-you could see all of Cagliari. Like for real you could see the whole entire town and the tops of all the colored buildings!!! 

After this ligitness tower we walked for quite a long time to get to a cafe for lunch. But this wasn't just any cafe - it was a vintage one that had been here since 1855!!!!!! I felt super old when I walked into it!! The food there was OUTSTANDING!!!! I got gnocchi but it was the tiramisu that blew my mind!!!! It was HUGE and the whip cream on it was so thick and voluptuous!!!!!!! Creamyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! We then walked home along the main drag where I saw so many great stores teasing me but they were all closed. This town is a ghost town on Sunday, everything shuts down!!! 

Back at the house we rested for a bit and then decided we would know drive an hour away to Chia beach (from this morning) to swim for a bit and watch the sunset!!! At the beach Tobin and I played racket ball and changed out record from 5 to 42!!!!!! Amazing!! Also, I freaked out because they were selling the COCONUT CUPS!!! Tobin, Nana Mary and I just had to get one. It brings back so many great memories!!!! I read my book (well actually I finished it) called "Flowers in the Attic" while the sun set. The whole family also all picked out special rocks and threw them in the water and as soon as they were thrown in the sky started turning all different pinks. It was very special moment!!! 

On the drive home we saw FLAMINGOS flying!! We saw them on the way to the beach but they were all flying up in the sky on the way back. I had never seen a flamingo fly (I didn't even know they did fly!!) so I thought it was crazy!!!! For dinner that night we had reservations for 9:30 at a very good restaurant but we didn't end up going because we Couldn't. Find. Parking. Isn't that crazy?!! We had to actually miss our dinner because it was so busy we couldn't park. Like for kilometers and kilometers all the spots were taken so it was pointless. We ended up just going home and then mum and dad and I went to go pick up some take away pizza for all of us!!! But like I said since it was Sunday EVERYTHING was closed so it took us over an hour just to find a restaurant!!! We got there just as it was closing and they were kind enough to make us some pizzas!!! Back at the house we thankfully indulged in our pizza and then hit the hay like cows!!!!! 

Goodnight to all and to all a goodnight!! Isn't that from that Christmas story?? CREEP IT REAL around the world-mimirockzzz king Julian
