Mosquito coast – Nora (Pula), Sardinia, Italy

We had originally had plans to explore more of Isola di Sant’Antioco, however, the complete absence of any kind of facilities meant we needed to move on. Therefore we headed to Porto Pino, back on mainland Sardinia with a dedicated motorhome parking area and service point. Although even at this, the water has been disconnectedContinue reading “Mosquito coast – Nora (Pula), Sardinia, Italy”

Archeology, history and cocktails – Sant’Antioco, Sardinia

Yesterday evening we took a lovely walk in the setting sun along the seafront. There was a beautiful reflection of the setting sun on the calm waters, fisherman were standing round by their boats discussing their day. There were several bars open with people sat outside, it was such a nice evening we had toContinue reading “Archeology, history and cocktails – Sant’Antioco, Sardinia”

Best ever pizza – Sant’Antioco, Sardinia, Italy

Last night we braved a walk out in the dark with head torches in search of pizza in Villamasargia. I have not been a pizza fan for a couple of years back home but the one we shared at the ferry port has given us a taste for Italian pizza and that one was boughtContinue reading “Best ever pizza – Sant’Antioco, Sardinia, Italy”

Wild West adventures – Villamassargia, Sardinia

At first light this morning we could see the huge bank of cloud approaching signalling the arrival of the cold front which was forecast. We decided we did not want to be at the bottom of a sandy slope when that arrived so drove up to the top for breakfast etc. The automated 4×4 systemContinue reading “Wild West adventures – Villamassargia, Sardinia”

At our own leisure – Spiaggia di Campu Sali, Sardinia, Italy

When we set out on this trip, as we are expecting to be away a little longer we took the decision not to move everyday so we could get to incorporate more of our usual daily home lifestyle while on the road. It also means not eating out and drinking everyday as you might onContinue reading “At our own leisure – Spiaggia di Campu Sali, Sardinia, Italy”

Services day – Spiaggia di Campu Sali, Sardinia, Italy

Today after a short run with Lola along the beach, we had breakfast and hit the road. We were destined for the metropolis of Oristano which promised Motorhome service point, supermarkets (open on Sundays!) and petrol stations with LPG. We passed Stagno di Cabras, apparently one of Europe’s largest pond at 2200 hectares. Not sureContinue reading “Services day – Spiaggia di Campu Sali, Sardinia, Italy”

A day by the seaside – Is Arutas beach, Sardinia, Italy

A wild night of weather meant a slightly disrupted sleep, especially when Lola felt the need to bark at the thunder. After a cup of tea before daylight we managed to get back to sleep again but we were slightly later starting our day. We had also decided we were settled here for today. WeContinue reading “A day by the seaside – Is Arutas beach, Sardinia, Italy”

Awaiting the storm – Is Arutas Beach, Sardinia, Italy

This morning, we were low on breakfast provisions, so I did the 3 mile round walk to the Eurospar whilst Kevin was out at the beach with the dogs. I had tried the little village store in Bosa Marina where we are staying, I went through the beaded curtain into the store to see aContinue reading “Awaiting the storm – Is Arutas Beach, Sardinia, Italy”

What a difference a day makes – Bosa, Sardinia, Italy

As forecast, the sun came out today and what felt like a drab and stuffy town yesterday was transformed today. It was lovely to watch the waves through the windscreen with our morning cup of tea. We started with a morning walk across the beach. The recent storm has brought in lots of debris toContinue reading “What a difference a day makes – Bosa, Sardinia, Italy”

Good start, rain later – Bosa, Sardinia, Italy

In the morning we woke up in Alghero, I had decided on a bike ride so was on the road early. Kev took the girls for a walk around the harbour. I saw my first nuraghe at the side of the road behind a big steel fence. Over 7000 have been found on Sardinia, builtContinue reading “Good start, rain later – Bosa, Sardinia, Italy”
