Best Western Alessandro Hotel Olbia

... call him Kevie, isn’t the most coordinated person so it took him awhile to get the hand of things. He was terrible at water skiing, but loved the water raft. He had a few good wipeouts when we made a sharp turn and the raft went flying over the wake. It was pretty cool, and he had a blast. He also loved the Jet Skis. It took him awhile to figure out how to pull up beside the yacht’s fold-down swim platform without smacking into it. I ...

... that it has a lot in common with the planned community that Disney built, or the planned suburbs of Orange County in California with their gated communities.

There’s nothing wrong with places like these. It’s just not my style. I prefer the unexpected, the genuine, and the gritty. I love the variety of life that a master plan takes away. I prefer the rollercoaster of life over the merry-go-round.

... While driving around Santa Teresa Gallura we visited two larges capes- Capo d'Orso and Capo Tesa. Both capes had lighthouses and very, very unusual rock formations shaped by wind and sea (see photos). John was fascinated by the unusual rock formations and this area gets high marks from us for its natural beauty. As much as we enjoyed it, we found that it was finally time to leave our little Agriturismo, La China, and head south along the east coast of Sardinia for more adventures.

Olbia, Italy Information by Rough Guides Awash with traffic and ugly apartment blocks, OLBIA is the least Sardinian of all the island's towns. Its port and airport, however, make it an inevitable stop for some and its numerous bars and restaurants are generally crowded with tourists, sailors from the port and US service personnel from the nearby NATO bases. If you're stuck for an afternoon here, you might as well visit the town's only item of ...

Well this is our third time in Olbia so we know the routine and tie up next to the town jetty. We arrive in time to have a quick final meal out with the Sutherlands before we bid them farewell and they begin their long journey home. We see them onto their feryy, which will take them across to Rome, where they will fly to Bangkok for a ...

... weather lasted for 4 hours before the wind came up a little. Then a little more and more until we were half way across and our breeze had turned into a strong breeze on the nose, with the seas becomming very choppy with a short steep swell. Unfortunately the Sutho's found this most unpleasant and between vomoiting and death threats to the captain they were forced to endure 24 hours of this torture. I believe Gills comment after reaching Olbia was ...

... full of shops, cafes and restaurants. We had a fun night out with Pete's sister Alison and enjoyed a traditional 4 course Sardinian meal while watching people wandering up and down the main street. It was quite amazing how busy the town gets after 7pm. I'm sure everyone comes out either to shop, eat or just walk the street, having the occasional gelato or ...

... de jachthaven. Het is nu donderdag en op het water is het echt druk. Speedboten zijn groter en groter, je weet niet wat je ziet, ze passeren ons links en rechts met hekgolven die je af en toe alleen op de Atlantische oceaan ziet verschijnen. Uit de verte hoor je ze al met hun vliegtuigmotoren aankomen en de bestuurder kijkt echt niet om naar de ravage die hij veroorzaakt. Speeltjes voor macho's, maar ook hier zijn we snel aan gewend! In de baai van Palau gaat het ...

... matched by reality - and the water has been consistently clear too. Food choices have been dominated by Pizzeria offerings for the last 3 days as the prices in the more varied restaurants have been prohibitive! Still, we have had some great pasta and seafood, accompanied by delicious Sardinian wine. I would whole heartedly recommend a trip here ' try it in one of the many campervans to be truly free of accomodation really only being available in towns.....

... his boy friend. Don't think the ladies get off easily metalic seems to be the full blown catasophe here. every woman from 4 to 184..well you know how old a life of tanning can make you look, is wearing them. Now some of you might be saying hey what happened to croatia? well the ferries from venice were fully booked till the 14th and with the girls needing a beach we made for here instead. Well its the mediterrian and sunny, we're pretty much the only english speaking tourist here ...
