Took a narrated bus ride to a small town an took a train ride of app 5 hr with a cheese cracker and loafs of bread with wine and soft drinks then on to the destination to return to the train. It was a great trip going by all the backsides of the farms the stop at the lake was a covered awnings. There was no air condition on train an it was hot hot hot. We went by a cork storage place that that the bark stacked up for an acre or more. There were fences that stretched for long distances covered in blueberries. There was not much in Oblia but up hill. I came I saw I enjoyed

We did an excursion to Coda Cavallo Beach. My husband was a bit disappointed with this trip because the beach chairs and umbrella were not that close to the water, but a short distance away from it. Since we wanted to keep a close eye on our kids, we ended up spending extra money to rent chairs and an umbrella from a private vendor directly on the beach. Some snacks/sandwiches and drinks were included in the price, but not alcohol, so we spent extra on beer as well. Since we wanted to spend most of the day on the beach, we thought this excursion was too short. We thought about taking a taxi back later, but I talked to the tour guides, and they went out of their way to arrange that we take the later bus (same tour operators) back to the ship. We thought it was a bit pricier than the other excursions we booked onboard, and my husband really wanted to see the Costa Smeralda, so we would probably just take a taxi to that area next time. Although this public beach was beautiful (but very crowded), we didn't think the price of the excursion was worth it.
