Hotel Corte rosada Alghero

... no answers and just walked away when questioned. However, as rumours circulated the airport's computer systems and electricals were out of action, the tarmac strewn with debris and no-one would be able to get out that day, passengers were looking for alternatives. Some passenger in the Ryanair queue were booking flights on their mobiles on Easyjet from Olbia, and getting together to share the cab fare for the 134km ride to the west coast of Sardinia. As passengers filed into the ...

... Bear in mind that Alghero is a small town, so everything can be visited in a few hours and you can go everywhere by walk, 'cause everything is close to everything. The only problem is the heat, it's stifling!<br><br>At 6 p.m we go to the train station to take our backpacks and from there we take the bus to the airport. WARNING!: don't trust the official timetable!! actually buses pass when they feel like it! so if you don't want to get ...

... Pelosa. It was quite a ways out of our way, but it was very much worth the effort. This was a spectacular white sand beach surrounded by old Spanish fort ruins from the 1400s and amazing turquoise waters. We took our shoes off and walked in the clear water along the beach to some rocks where we had a picnic lunch. After relaxing on the beach for a bit we headed around the north coast of the island to our next "accommodation" stop which was an Agriturismo called La China.

We spent 3 days sailing around to Aghero and after a couple of great nights swinging on the anchor we pulled into the marina in Alghero. We welcomed our newest crew member, Zach, aboard and headed out for a traditional Sardinian meal in the old city. We decided a couple of nights would be worthwhile so we could have a look around the old ...

... a Gelateria) and drink some delicious local wines. Two English girls we met at our B&amp;B headed out to a winery nearby and said everything was delicous....but again, the beach needed us too much for us to give up a day to a winery. Especially when the wine could come to us. And that's Alghero! We were sad to leave, even sadder when we stepped off the plane to the tan-sapping cold of London. But, strangely, relieved to be back. It's really starting to feel like a second home here now :-) xx

... both tired. The next day I head to the beach. I walk down Via Lido, past the town beach on towards the campsite where wobbly bathers are attempting to pull up windsurf sails, and then on through the water and round a short stretch of rocky cove where the water is crystal clear. There are few bathers in this spot and for a moment you feel the beautiful tranquility of the place . I love wading this stretch feeling the deliciously cool water up around my ...

... erikáék is egyszer kocsival Sassari felé jártak, de mondták, nekik nagyon nem tetszett a város, nem volt semmi ott, így hamar tovább álltak. Cagliari annyival másabb, hogy ott legalább ott a tengerpart, több a külföldi, több a partilehet&#337;ség, vagy hogy egyáltalán valamit csináljon az ember. Képeket találtok a galériában. Utolsó héten még elmentem szuvenírokat venni, Kasiával a várost is bejártuk még egyszer, hogy mindent lássunk, mindenr&#337;l legyen f ...

... van onze boot die we volgens het beproefde concept afdekken en klaar maken voor de zomerstop. Over de Fiume Temo maken we herhaaldelijk uitstapjes met de rubberboot naar het stadje Bosa. Zondagmiddag nemen we de bus naar Olbia en hebben daar nog een vermakelijke avond met een Noors stel die elkaar enkele uren geleden hun 'ja" -woord hebben gegeven, als dat bestendigd blijft, zien wij elkaar mogelijk volgend jaar in Noorwegen. Maar voorlopig zijn we weer terug in Nederland!

... gekomen en dat betekent de motor er bij moet. Gelukkig draait de wind een tikje, waardoor we van de 5 uur varen toch drie uur kunnen zeilen. De aanloop van Bosa is redelijk overzichtelijk, maar als we bij de bijna verlaten haven informeren, dan blijkt er nog een haven te zijn. We hebben geankerd aan een prachtig strand vol mensen. Met de rubberboot gaan we naar de kant op zoek naar de andere haven, die we na een lange voettocht aan de overkant van de rivier vinden ...

January, 5, 2006 You Win Some, You Lose Some Holy **** was it an amazing day! I was already to get out there on my bike and go...really far. I stopped along the beach and wrote some postcards, I wrote this great one to Chris, who always asks me, are you on some island, sitting on the beach, the sun in your face? Well, yes I was, I sure was! My ambitions were, as always, way too high and the adventures resulted in a confused me and ...
