Three things you'll want to know about Olbia, Sardinia

Before getting to the two things... Olbia was not what we were expecting – although we are not sure what we expected, Olbia was not it. The north end of Sardina, where Olbia is located, has only recently been developed -- over the last 40 yrs -- after the US helped eliminate a huge mosquito/Malaria problem.

Anyway, the three things to will want to know about Olbia:

First, when we asked for a Coca-Cola Light™, the person at the bar counter said “No Coca-Cola Light™, just Coke. I can mix some water in!”

Second, sheep outnumber people there 2.3 to 1.

Third, the bathrooms… Er… Well… Maybe you only want to know about two things about Olbia.
