Jazz in Berchidda

Brandinchi Beach, aka, Little Tahiti

Travelling jazz band in the streets of Berchidda

Louis Mahalo Mahalo on drums!

Would you believe it if I said we are going to Tahiti today?!!?!?! Hahaha...well not really, but somewhere close!! It's a stunning beach in Sardinia called "Little Tahiti" because it's so similar to the real Tahiti!!! We drove there after breakfast. It was an hours drive away all stuffed in the back of the stinky car but it was worth it!! Little Tahiti was the most beautiful beach I had ever seen in my life. The beach was huge (even though it's called Little Tahiti) and the sand (no rocks!!) stretched along the shore for miles. As for the water, it was CRAZY! It was so clear it was like looking into a magician's crystal ball!!! Oh yes and it was so shallow!! You could walk 100 feet out and still be up to your ankles. Eventually it got deep though which was really nice!! The water was like ombré coloured!! It was white near the shore, turquoise in the middle and then dark blue far in the ocean!! AND let me just say one more time, THE WATER IS SO WARM!! Like a hot spring!!!! At the beach I read my book for a long time and OF COURSE went swimming with my two best friends...my goggles and Nana Mary!!! Ahahahahaha!!!!!! Also I got this coconut ice cup that is my new favorite thing ever!!! It's kinda like ice cream, with frozen coconut with REAL coconut chunks in it. Oh my goodness it was so good!!!! 

You know those people that walk around the beach selling clothes and stuff just out of a bag?? Ya well one was selling CASHMERE scarfs and mum just wanted to look at them, but the guy brought ALL the scarfs out of his duffle bags. Holy moly, there were so many different types of cashmere scarfs and mum didn't even want one but she kind of had to buy one after all that!! The guy had spent over HALF AN HOUR showing us so many cashmere scarfs and I swear he was gonna kill mum if she didn't buy one!!! We had wasted so much of his time so mum got one of his CASHMERE SCARFS!! Oh well she'll always have a funny store to go with it when she wears it!! Ahahahaha! I don't know why this is so funny, I just find cashmere scarfs very funny!!!! 

ANYWAYS, after the beach we drove another hour into the mountains to get to Berchidda to see a jazz show!!!! The drives in Sardinia are always on narrow, tiny roads along rolling hills and farmland, which I really find gorgeous, even if I do get a little car sick!!!!! We were greeted in the town by this jazz band playing on the street!! They were so amazing and it was sort of like a parade because they would play their instruments in the street and we would walk behind them and follow them! Yes, a parade!! 

Now listen closely when I tell you this because you're not going to believe this!!!! This...town...didn't...have...PASTA!! Yes, you heard that right, THEY DIDN'T HAVE PASTA!! Nor did they actually have any place to EAT FOOD!! They only sold drinks there!! We ended up just going to this bar where they agreed on putting something together for us in the kitchen! But of course, the ONLY place that sold food was a pizza by the slice restaurant. Obviously, Tobin and and I got that too!!! As for the jazz show, I LOVED it!! It started just after 9:30 pm and lasted until 11:00 pm!! It was a mixture of a trumpet player, a pianist, a trombone, two saxophone players and a CRAZY good drummer!! It was all free jazz, on the spot and making music as you go!! The type of music was sort of South African!! The drummer was the only renaming member of the original band (the rest died) so he recruited all the other instrument players to play with him!! I much enjoyed their groovy, unique sound! After their show ended we still had a TWO HOUR drive to get home!!! We were all so tired when we got home after 1:00 am so we just crashed. Zzzzzzz.
