This previously notorious town is now on the map for the many controvertial murals hereWe arrrive in Orgosolo following a funeral processionThe mural at the police station at OrgosoloFishermen at the Lago Govossai dam in the mountains south west of OrgosoloWe pass through the small town of FonniWe continue along the road through the mountains and find a herd of cows on the roadThe scenery of the mountainous countryside is spectacularWe pass small villages that cling to the hillsides
Another herd of cattle on the mountain roadWe seem to have taken a wrong turn and find ourselves driving over a mountainous plateauThe road conditions worsen and we find ourselves on a rough dirt road for several kilometresNevertheless the scenery was stunning although it probably took us a few hours longer to get across the mountains!!Finally we arrive back in Cagliari at 7.30pm after a long day visiting many towns and getting lost in the mountains!!!Fortunately we booked some accommodation online before arriving in CagliariBack to our favourite restaurant, Antica CagliariThe mussels are the best here!!The seabass was perfectly cooked in the oven with wine and olivesThe grilled vegetables are wonderfulThe fried calamari were tender and delicious tooThe icecram dessert was a great dish to finish off the evening
