Filitosa


Sue has turned Russell into a Dorothy Carrington fan and he soon tracked down his own copy of “Granite Island”.  Together we made a pilgrimage from the tiny seaside village of Porto Pollo to the megalithic site of Filitosa, which Dorothy had a hand in bringing to international attention.  The site was about seven miles away, but we managed to flag down a taxi on the way out and hitched on the way back, getting a lift for most of the journey back to Porto Pollo in the back of a pick-up truck, its speed giving us a refreshing cooling breeze in the blazing afternoon Sun.
