Pimms on Sardinia
Hi there everyone,
Soon to be going out to Sardinia for the second time in July and now the sun is out I am just wondering whether Pimms is available in Sardinia, not that it is a make or break thing, just that I really love a good long Pimms in the sun!!?

Re: Pimms on Sardinia
Get it from the airport airside in the UK. It's what my OH does. You MAY find it but it will almost certainly cost an arm and a leg! Also remember there isn't any lemonade as such here. I use Lemon Soda, there is also Gassosa (!) which I think may sometimes be lemony or like soda water - you can make spritzers and sangria with it. Had some last Saturday and it was very nice, I would use less Lemon Soda next time though, it is a bit too lemony for my taste! The Italian field cucumbers were good in it though!

I have never ever seen Pimms here and I've been here a long time.
The Gassosa I sometimes buy here for my kids is the crystal clear version - and that is just like lemonade. The yellowy stuff is more lemony.

Om-Shanti - which airport will you be flying from? My son might be at school in Winchester come September and I wondered if there were alternatives to Gatwick? I know some flights go from Southhampton - Meridiana is our airline, which I think is Sardinia anyway? Just wondering.

Re: Pimms on Sardinia
We fly Ryanair from Stansteadbut they also fly from Liverpool, East Midlands & Dublin and from Birmingham to Olbia, I think they may have routes to Cagliari, but they are not direct.
I am sure they will have more info on their site....

Re: Pimms on Sardinia
Thank you! Stansted!!! Have a look at Meridiana. They fly out of Gatwick, are reasonably priced - the price never changes much at all and always includes taxes etc. and are Sardinian - Gatwick must be cheaper to get to than Stansted, but then I hate Ryanair -love the monorail at Stansted though!
