We’ve been on holiday to Sardinia. Pip, Laurie & I went with Griff, Clare & Amy, Fi, Wim & Stephanie, and Clare, Alan & James. Four couples, three two-year-olds, and an eleven-month-old. Surprisingly, it went very well!
We hired the surprisingly magnificent Villa Enrico. It was set in 40 acres of olive and lemon groves in the countryside outside Alghero. It was over 40°C in the sun most days and it turns out that much sun, four lots of baby-wee and an under-chlorinated pool will turn a nice blue pool into a nice green pool in just a few days.
Green notwithstanding, we spent most of our time in the pool…
…or on the beach…
Wim and I tactfully negotiated a day and a half’s babysitting to get some pretty spectacular cave-diving from a cliff-top dive-centre with it’s own train down to the boats. I did one dive right through the headland of Capo Caccia (home to Nero’s Cave if you’ve been to Sardinia) and back through separate tunnel systems.
The three girls absolutely loved it.
We’ll probably do it again some time, although I suspect Griff & Clare may want to travel direct from Edinburgh next time
