Castle in Cagliari

Cagliari (pronounced like Calgary, but change the 'g' to a 'y' -- Calyari) has a really old castle and Jules, of course, really wanted to go see it. 
It's called Castello di San Michel and it is up on top of the highest hill in town so as to look out over the Tyhreanean Sea and watch for incoming enemy ships. It definitely has a commanding view of the city and the sea and the rural areas behind it. 
It also has a bar that shares the view because Daddy needs a birra.

We rode the #5 bus up to the castle and when we were finished, we rode it back down to the city.

It was a really, really windy up there and it puffed up my shirt so that I look fat in almost every picture. I had a good laugh at all of those photos!

After the castle, we had a leisurely walk around town, stopped for pizza and watched Jules play in the piazza.
It was very relaxing day in preparation for our departure from Sardegna back to the mainland.

Up next... Orvieto!
