We have spent two weeks learning Italian at Languages Point in Porto Torres with the lovely Sebastiana - who is known by her diminutive Bastiananina. She was an excellent teacher very patient and flexible, very experienced and extremely well prepared. We have had a wonderful 2 weeks with her. It could not have been better.
Tonight we went for a walk along the seafront. This area is very pretty. Around the corner are industrial oil refineries and factories but this area is serene and green and peaceful. Lots of people out for a stroll. We are the only tourists we have seen all week. Apparently that changes in summer (according to the lady in the ice cream shop). Yes... succumbed to the gelato and the delicious cheese and pasta, pizza and white wine.
The coast near this town is very pretty. The last image is of the tower ... Torre from which the place takes its name. Though it is not 'the season' yet, there are many boats and yachts in the harbour. It is a small town .... Not swamped by crass tourism. So it makes for a very interesting getaway. I am glad we are not part of the seasonal migration. Our apartment is very quiet and has a sensational view of the sea which will feature in the next post.
