We had another very early start with our New Year vigor still strong to get through our jobs list before we get onto the ferry to Sicily on Saturday. Jobs list was more admin for me, van maintenance and debugging for Kev. We were however rewarded for our efforts with another beautiful sunrise for ourContinue reading “Back to Cag – Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy”

We have a bit of a timetable once we leave Sardinia to get back to France, due to our first planned ferry to Sicily being cancelled and our decision not to then travel overnight on Xmas Eve or New Years Eve (Saturday crossings only). Therefore we spent a couple of hours this morning researching ourContinue reading “Epic coastal drives, the SP-71 – Nora (Pula), Sardinia, Italy”

We were up early this morning for our sunrise beach walk at Maladroxia. I think we surprised a lady in her pyjamas and coat who had thought to do the same, but was perhaps not expecting company. We planned to go to Calasetta today at the northern end of Isola di Sant’Antioco. There are ferriesContinue reading “Round the island and back again – Maladroxia, Sardinia, Italy”

We have just short of a week until we jump on the ferry to Sicily, so this morning we were deliberating where else we wanted to go on Sardinia in our last few days. We eventually decided on a return to the island of Sant’Antioco. We had spent a couple of days here in ourContinue reading “On to another island (again) – Maladroxia, Isola di Sant’Antioco, Sardinia, Italy”

A leisurely start this morning after a very late night reassuring Lola as fireworks continued through the night. I heard the last ones at around 7am, which sounded almost like thunder to our half asleep minds. However it was a gloriously sunny morning as the various campers gradually emerged from behind their shutters. We decidedContinue reading “Moving South – Baradili, Sardinia, Italy”

We had to completely replan our day and our New Year’s Eve celebrations in Alghero when we found out that the stage for the town concert would be sited on the carpark that we had intended to camp on. This has been a handy central spot last time we had visited. We had also gotContinue reading “Happy New Year – Fertilia, Sardinia, Italy”

We woke up this morning in our beach car park spot on Capo Ferro, it was not a totally peaceful night due to the number of other residents of the site. We have not been used to having so many neighbours! I took the dogs for a morning beach walk and was followed by twoContinue reading “Capo Caccia – Porto Conte, Sardinia, Italy”

We had a fairly leisurely start today at Tempio Pausania, as we did not have far to go. The altitude of our stop in the hills made it quite a cool evening. I am pleased we had our silver screen to cover the windscreen, it makes a big difference to the temperature in the vanContinue reading “Not always smooth driving – Porto Ferro, Sardinia, Italy”

We have had a wonderfully relaxing Christmas on Isola Maddelena. Nice to stay put for a few days, eat and drink too much, lots of lovely video calls with family and friends. We even managed to rouse ourselves to a circumnavigation of the island by bike on Boxing Day (mind you it is fairly small!),Continue reading “Back on the road – Tempio Pausania, Sardinia, Italy”

We are now parked up at a small campsite in La Maddelena for the next 5 days. We have done our final Christmas shop, got our panettone and a selection of drinks including mulled wine and gin brought along from home. We have selection of dvds and data for streaming. Let the festivities commence 🍾🎄🥳🥂Continue reading “Christmas Holiday Time 🥳🎄 – La Maddelena, Sardinia, Italy”
