Mostly, this involved the long drive from Alghero down to Domus de Maria, just west of Cagliari. Unsurprisingly, the guys were on Chia beach so we parked up there and had a cold beer in the blistering heat before retiring to the villa for a lovely dinner of Sardinian sausage, aubergine and parmesan bake, caprese salad and several bottles of La Cala... which was all rather civilised until cigars, mirto (a pungent sardinian spirit). more La Cala and more Ichnusa were consumed and a spot of naked night-swimming was suggested (by Merle probably) at around 4am.
