Sardinia just got a little closer

January and February in Sardinia is much the same as the UK. Outside of the major cities the people tend to go into hibernation unless it's a particularly mild winter while the better off tend to jump on a plane to visit relatives living abroad.

At home we've just had what, for us, is fantastic news. Easyjet have announced that from April they are to begin flying to Olbia airport on the Costa Smeralda coast from Bristol. This might not seem like a big deal to most pepole reading this, but to us it's the equivalent of someone offering to pick you up from outside of your front door. No more five hour commutes to Stansted. No more overnight drives to Luton. And if we want we can pop over to visit our mates for the weekend.
