Poseidonia Arbatax

We were off as soon as possible on 22nd! Left the boat with the intention of getting back to Cagliari from Calasetta.

Sant'Antiocco would be a lovely place to explore if we had a car and less of the feeling of flight! We decided to get a bus back to Cagliari, but they were not frequent, so ended up at a lovely little hotel in one of the back streets Hotel Fjby (Phoebe). The couple ...

... where we park up beside the beach to enjoy our lunch. After lunch we continue northbound to Tortoli, where we break away into the mountains – it’s absolutely stunning. I just feel so at ease, I could happily sit in one spot here all day and not tire of my surroundings – another natural wonder spreading out before me – I feel as light as air itself – it’s so quiet that I can hear myself breath as we watch ...

... went in and they sat us down at a table and started bringing out platters of food. They never asked us what we wanted and they spoke no English. They brought out roasted snails, grilled vegetables, cured ham and sausages, flat bread, cheeses, fresh tomatoes, and then roasted pork and stewed lamb- oh I forgot the bowl of ravioli and the bowl of risotto they served us as well. YUM! We have had a great time in Sardinia and ready to head to Milan, Italy ...

... After the initial shock Pete went over in the dinghy to say hello, as this is the first Aussie we'd seen in the Med. Jerry was a very nice guy and ended up comming over for a drink that evening (he had shorts on). He is married to a Swiss lady and spends his summers cruising the Med. We only had a brief trip ashore and a quick look around as well as some shopping for groceries, then departed the next day.

... Maar ze liggen niet stil, in tegendeel ze laten tevens zien hoe hard ze kunnen varen en welke hekgolven ze kunnen produceren. We liggen dan ook af en toe stil als ze ons dwars passeren. We steken rond 4 uur de golf van Olbia over terwijl voor ons het eiland Isola Tavolara, bedekt met een wolkendek, zich dwars op zee voor ons uitstrekt. We besluiten niet verder te gaan maar een oppertje te zoeken voor de komende dagen, want een storm van uit W-NW is voorspeld voor ...

Auf der Fahrt von Aritzo nach Oliena hielten wir im Nuraghendorf "Su Nuraxi". Nuraghen sind prähistorische Turmbauten auf Sardinien (1800 - 1500 v.Chr.). Den Nachmittag verbrachten wir im Naturreservat Giara di Gesturi mit den berühmten wilden Pferden. Wir sahen auch wilde Stiere und viele seltene Pflanzen. Am Abend Einchecken ins Gourmet Hotel u Gologone. Man sagt, eine Sardinien-Reise ohne den Besuch im Su Gologone wäre wie ein Rom-Besuch ohne Kolosseum. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

... again, but I really feel like I have grown to love Florence and feel so comfortable here that I will be sad to leave. Ok, I apparently still don't have a strong enough internet signal to upload photos so unfortunately I can't share the pictures I've been taking. I will upload them once I get to the states. Also, I am having trouble with the map feature on the site, so some of them aren't accurate.

Fizemos o farnel e passamos o dia inteiro na praia um pic-nic bem bom, ao final da tarde fomos às compras, quando chega-mos ao quarto estava la uma osga, a Sónia fez a birra do costume :) eu e o Diogo tivemos de fazer uma caça à osga, acabamos por jantar fora, mas que bella pizza.

... e transparente agua da sardenha, tiramos o barco da àgua e fomos almoçar, passamos a tarde na praia praticamente a dormir :) zzzzz, nao sem antes a Sónia mandar uma das suas bacoradas :) pediu um gelado de frangola (fragola) e uma ixusa (ichnusa lê-se icnusa).

... goes from Cagliari up the west coast, reaching about 3 towns in total. Everything us must be reached by bus. Cala Gonone is on the east coast and has got to be one of the best kept secrets in the travel world. It was paradise! Huge mountains covered with dense, lush green vegetation, secluded white sandy beaches...it was like something you only see in travel brochures and wonder where that is and wish you could go there. Out of the "busy season ...
