I have a friend in Sardinia --- I should go visit him and investigate this.

[Dustbunny]

What a neat place to wander around.

[SunkenCiv]

I only know *one* person who even has a *friend* in Sardinia, and that's you. I'm kinda impressed. I guess now I have to send you FReepmail giving you the name of the ex-Globester author buddy...

[SunkenCiv]

They appear to be small castles, nothing more, but they are mightily made, and it reminds me somehow of Mycenaean construction.

An outfit I know has great hikin/walking tours to Sardinia and Corsica. $4595 for 11 days, not including air fare to Europe. If I were rich I'd go and take all of you.

If you go,bring back pics and post.The article is interesting but lacking in visual stimuli:)Thanx

Hey, If you want I'll give you an 11 day hiking tour on the appalacia trail for $5000 per person. 4 person minimum. Airfare not included. Bring your own footware.

Hike tease! ;') We should all become travel agents. Imagine, $4600 to fly someone to a rustic island so they can spend 9 days hiking and ten nights sleeping...

I was in Sardinia in '85. It was beautiful. We set up a commo shot in an old abandoned pillbox from WW2. One of the better "camping" trips I've ever been on.

[SunkenCiv]

Sounds like fun.

[ValerieUSA]

Only KINDA impresssed????
Man!!
What's a girl gotta know or do to really amaze someone?

[SunkenCiv]

I would think you'd know better...

[Renfield]

"...We should all become travel agents..."

Now, you may be on to something there. A "Gods-Graves-Glyphs" tour of the standing stones of Western Europe...from Sardinia to Orkney...I could really go for that, especially if I could do it at cost. You & me & Blam & a couple of Viking Kitties.

".....Hey, If you want I'll give you an 11 day hiking tour on the appalacia trail for $5000 per person...."

Nice try. I live an hour from an AT trailhead.

[blam]

"You & me & Blam & a couple of Viking Kitties."

Works for me.

[CJ Wolf]

Think there is a market?
