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”

After a quiet night at Palau marina and a few drinks amongst the locals who were getting in the Xmas spirit with a bit of fizz. A lovely atmosphere, young and old out enjoying themselves. This morning Kev took the girls out early and the same cafe was busy already at 06:30. The ferry toContinue reading “Another ferry crossing – Giardinelli, Sardinia, Italy”

We woke after a wonderfully quiet night in Padru as the big day had arrived. No, we have not yet had our visit from the big man in the red suit. Today, we were booked in for a Pasta Making course. We had contacted Simonetta Bazzu not long after we arrived in Sardinia, after havingContinue reading “Pasta Making course in Battista – Palau, Sardinia, Italy”

We woke this morning to an another stunning sunrise. No walk to the beach this morning though as we were parked right on the water’s edge. The dogs are loving this style of camping where there is no leads and they are released straight out the door. Again we tried to capture the majesty ofContinue reading “Back to Padru – Padru, Sardinia, Italy”

Today it’s time to hit the road again. we have left the relative comfort of all services on tap at the Sosta in Porto San Paulo and headed up the road to a waterside camp out on Golfo Aranci (Gulf of Orange) peninsular past Olbia. On yesterday’s bike ride in this direction, I had spottedContinue reading “Shopping and chilling – Spiaggia Terrata, Golfo Aranci, Sardinia, Italy”
