Task no.2
Evidence verified by: one activity organiser
Where there's the sea, there are boats and ships, and in Cagliari you'll find a huge variety of them.
Go to the harbour and take a picture of the weirdest and coolest looking boat that you can see, or the one that you like the most - then upload it as evidence!
Is your favourite a sailing boat, or a fancy yacht? Maybe it's a big cruise ship, or maybe a small fishing boat...?

Task no.4

Find the flamingos!
Did you know that Cagliari hosts one of the biggests colonies of pink flamingos in the Mediterranean? They’re a symbol of the city, so you can’t really go without finding at least one!

Take a picture of them, if you can spot them flying above the city, or look for one of the many flamingo souvenirs that are sold in town and take a selfie with your favourite one - then upload it as evidence.

Hint: souvenir shops in Marina are a good place to start.
