Meeting Songline

By Mari's Travel Diary on September 30, 2011

There is much to be said about the anticipation and excitement in meeting up with friends and yacht Songline to embark on a well planned voyage. Our meeting place was Alghero, Sardinia.

After provisioning the boat and settling into our berths, within 2 days we would be heading out for adventures in Mediterranean waters.

Alghero is such a pretty port , laden with history and shows of pride and deep Italian culture. Shopping is incredible, from the modest yet spectacular food markets, a great chandlery , fabulous restaurants and some fantastic luggage,bag and shoe stores. There is an obvious plethora of high-end bathing-suit shops which I suspect could be the legacy of PM Silvio Berlusconi keeping his harem well suited.
