  Wednesday 26th August
 
  From Monday 17th to Friday the 28th we stay with Miti and Paula in Nuoro, Sardinia. During our stay we make two attempts to drive to Alghero (on the north-west coast) in Miti's Volkswagen Polo. The first time the car makes strange noises and smells! The second time it breaks down completely in the middle of nowhere. In the distance we see a small town and manage to limp to it and immediately come upon a 'servisio' (garage) run by Antonello. The car takes all day to be fixed (broken fan belt and seized pulley) but Anotonello looks after us royally: He loans us his nice Lancia car to drive around nearby Bolotana and up the nearby mountain. We ended up having a  wonderful day. 
If ever you need your car fixing go to Antonello's place:  Via Su Muraghe Mannu, 08011 Bolotana, Sardinia.  Tel 0785-43373
 
 
 
 


Here we are in Antonello's garage with Miti's car behind us with the bonnet up.

 
In nearby Bolotana, we come across this mural painted on a house.
