Trip to Cagliari

It is worth a visit for sure! It was a beautiful place full of colour. We couldn't stop thinking about how it reminded us of Cuba or the South of France. 2 days was just enough to tour the Centre and go to the beach. Perhaps if I go next time, I will consider going outside the captial.

I made the above image today in graphics class, I thought it was pretty cool so I decided to put it up! Our professor showed the class this technique of selecting areas and pasting pictures into the selected area- it creates a really unique look.

 In class I used some of my swimwear sketches to create a lifelike bathing suit, it was exciting to see my sketches come to life. This technique is my new favourite- when I do some more images I will post them :)
We also booked our hotel for Cagliari- 16 more days!

After a long stressful day at school, my day finally picked up.

My next long weekend is the first weekend in June, originally I wanted to go to Paris to see the Madame Gres exhibit, however the flights were expensive and the bus would take too long! Last night I was searching online and found a place called Cagliari. Originally I had heard about it while reading an airline magazine on my flight to Florence,however forgetting about it...

I searched Ryan Air and found a cheap flight, then I posted my findings on my classes facebook wall, to see if anyone was interested.

Tonight when I got home, I saw the flight from Pisa to Cagliari was 1 euro (8.40 euro with tax)- you really cant beat that! So I decided to tell the girls about the fights and so far it is me and one other girl- Amira. However there might be two others joining!

Here is a little bit of facts about Cagliari

1. Capital island of Sardinia, since Roman times
2. Has one of the biggest ports in the Mediterranean
3. Best explored by foot
4. It is known for its Art Nouveau influence
