We’ve had good luck renting from a company called “Cars by Sicily” but today our luck ran out. Larry is an excellent driver and constantly amazes me driving through narrow alleyways, dodging cars darting from seemingly nowhere and managing roundabouts with ease. Today when pulling into a parking space to return the car, he parked a little over the curb and scraped the underside of the front bumper. The damage looked like this:
The “damage” isn’t visible and doesn’t make the car less drivable. A very testy agent was determined to charge us $350.00 for the damage. We’ve had a excellent experiences all over the island, meeting kind people and seeing lovely sites – this is a bummer but it won’t ruin the trip for us.
After we returned the car, we took a city bus for the airport to our hotel in the city center. The bus was modern, clean and it was a short ride.
To soothe our ruffled feathers, we had a nice lunch at Anticas Licanzias,
The ravioli with tomato, ricotta and basil was great.
Olbia is a bustling port town, busy on a Saturday afternoon.
Tomorrow will be our last full day in Sardinia. We’re looking forward to our next stop, Trieste, Italy.
