Sardines in Sardegna

It is time to roll down the hill, say good bye to our friends up in the mountain, down in Massat and St. Girons

In good timing for European Mobility Week we packed our bikes and cycled to Foix, to play one of the few shows this year, in a beautiful new bicycle workshop called Facile https://www.facebook.com/facilevelo/ Here Alex refurbishes old bikes into stylish touring machines, city bikes.... The workshop is also home to the association Maison des Mobilites Foix, who invited us to play for the start of their mobility week activities. https://www.facebook.com/MaisondesMobFoix


 

The show was fun, but playing to a socially distanced, masked audience just isn't the same. Real sweaty, germy, spitting communal theater is desperately needed.

We'll bounce back next year with an all licking all prancing giant outdoor spectacular!

For now we're of on a winter break, finding sardines in Sardegna and Cecile in Sicily.

Our camera got nicked somewhere in the south of France so we fast forward to the beautiful beaches of Sardegna.

We had a dip in the sea, avoiding the sea urchins....

... drank water from the dragons mouth, stayed well away from the cycle paths....

 

... saw some Nuraghi and found wild, rocky, cliff camping with a tragic lovers tale attached..


Cycling in Sardinia is very beautiful. The roads are quiet,  this time of year anyway. Lots of german and swiss cars on the road, however all drivers,  including the Italians behaving very well. Smashing scenery, clear, sparkling blue sea, paradisic beaches.  Just watch out for the potholes and the wind blowing at gale force.


A day will come when giants walk the earth once again.
