Cagliari Day 2

Our second day in Cagliari began with a walk over to the Piazza del Carmine and the streets beyond that were just waking up.

We stopped off for a coffee and pastry at Caffè Central.

We then boarded the  Trenino Cagliaritano, the little red train. The route takes you through the medieval district of Castello, along narrow, cobbled streets.

We then walked up Largo Carlo Felice street with its colourful Jacaranda trees in bloom, we continued up past the remains of the Roman ampithearter and towards the Castillo area.

We then stopped of for a beer and some lunch at the Old Square where we got talking to a interesting American couple that were on a walking holiday in Europe. 

          

In the evening we took a stroll down Via Giuseppe Manno, the main shopping street of Cagliari. We ended up at the iconic Bastione di Saint Remy. The views from here across the city are superb.

 

Our next stop was Grotta Marcello Cagliari, on Piazza Jenne, where we enjoyed Apritivo while we did some people watching. 

Our final stop was at the Shanghai Chinese restaurant for a pretty decent meal.
