Still railing, despite a wonderful day

It is funny how one can have a wonderful day and yet still want to rail at the world. For reasons I do not fully understand a woman on the bus really annoyed me.  She sat for an hour looking at her phone. Her bag sat beside her and no one who stood because there was not a seat even asked her to move it, it was like she did not see them and they did not see her, just a bag and so the seat was not free.   Yet everyone who got on and wanted a seat expressed their frustration with the world that there was not a seat and they dashed for one the minute a person got off, and all this was invisible to the woman whose bag sat next to her taking up people's seats. She and the world were in their phones meanwhile outside the waves were crashing on the shore, to the right of the bus and flamingos were flying in formation on the other side of the bus and it was as if no one else could see all this going on and that was why I was railing at the world.

Bt are also enough to drive anyone up the wall, since getting a new hub, the service has got worse and worse and they keep making it worse and worse e.g. cancelling the engineer and then telling me that I was the one who cancelled.

Anyway, I will try and regain my sea side calm again by putting up some pics of

flamingos.  Bus trip to Pula totally worth it, both for the views en route then the Roman remains of

Nora and a fab but wildly and unintentionally expensive meal in the cafe there. ln theory should be working now to pay for it all, but as you can see displacement activities have won out again! 

Unexpected Cagliari.

Cagliari is unexpectedly turning into one of the best places I have ever visited,  I always enjoying travelling, but so many things have just happened whilst here it has been magic so far.

First there were the dolphins, which completely blew me away, and the others who saw them.  I know they are not whales but I have attempted to see Whales in Scotland and Iceland, but failed totally, I missed the one seen by the others in Ecuador, as I did not go with them that day and the closest I have come to any such siting is the river in Senegal where I did see a dolphin at a distance, and was looking out for it, but the dolphins here in Cagliari were right under our noses, so close up one could see their markings. There was even a white one, which grew gasps from those who had gathered to watch, so after that it will be hard for Cagliari to fail as an attractive place, but there is also this brilliant weekend on this weekend, a bit like the Open House scheme in London, but with the added benefit that the tour guides are the local school children and in the evening free music events are being put on in some locations. An English speaking Thai woman, who now lives here and I, were for example given an almost exclusive tour of the palace of the Viceroys. And this evening I have jigged around to an evening of Irish music put on in the university palace.   Wonderful. I was even serenaded when I stopped off to have tea and cake before returning to my pilgrimage hostel by a crooner in the next door cafe.  Brilliant day. 

So excited - I hope you can see why.
