The Rest of Cagliari

On the day after the opera we started with a visit to the Bastion area and from there to the Archeological Museum. The museum had a wonderful collection of bronze figures from prehistoric Sardinia and a group of stone figures whose provenance is the subject of scholarly dispute.
For lunch we fell back on Sa Domu Sarda after our first choice, Martinelli's, turned out to be closed for lunch. Nap and drinks at Liberium with Fancesca and Paolo, manager and owner of the house where we stayed. Liberium was a lovely terrace bar, high up, with  panoramic sunset view.

Snails with tomato sauce

Lamb, steak and sausage

Excellent red

The law requires that menus list all foods with allergy potential

Stone giants depict, boxers, soldiers and archers

This commemorates the museum's water-vending machine which accepts 10-euro notes but, as we later learned, can only return no more than 7 Euros in change. So we had to buy 5 bottles of water.

Late Bronze age "Bronzetta" (4 inches high) - Mother and dead warrior.
