This morning after a quiet night by the sea in our little carpark park-up it was time to do some exploring. We had only arrived at dusk yesterday so had not seen a great deal when we arrived. We could see a route on Google maps via the beach and the marina over to theContinue reading “Nearer the beach – Notteri, (Villasimius), Sardinia, Italy”

We had a great afternoon out in Pula yesterday. The streets were deserted as we walked through until we got to Piazza del Popollo which was full of people dining in the sunshine. Kev clocked another “best ever” for the trip, this time seafood spaghetti not for the quantity of seafood but for the flavourContinue reading “Going further back in time in Barumini – Villasimius, Sardinia, Italy”

The benefit of the short days at this time of year is that we were on the beach literally as the sun rose above it. The intrepid early morning surfers silhouetted against the beautiful golden glow. I had plotted a new dog walk this morning along the almost mile long beach to the headland oppositeContinue reading “Gun Emplacements at Sunrise, Archeology at Noon – Nora (Pula), Sardinia, Italy”

We were expecting some wet weather this afternoon based on the forecast and I was long overdue a bike ride. So I was on the road at first light, 07:30 this morning. I had belatedly realised last night I had inadvertently missed a nice coastal drive yesterday, having misremembered it was Chia to Cagliari whichContinue reading “Chia revisited and beach time – 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”

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”

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”

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”

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”

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”
