Sardinia travels



Out of the breakwater just a bit windy

After the Cinque Terra walk we headed south by train to Civitavecchia a city destroyed during WWII andf boarded the care ferry for our eight days in Sardinia.
Golfo Aranci coastline
Arrived in Golfo Aranci in the evening and the next day rented our Mistra Daedoo care from Formula One Rentals no recognition at all to any formulae one and headed NE to the Smeralda Coast. The small Mistra , no power steering, no aircon,brakes marginal, top speed 50 kms uphill was perfect as speed limit tops was 70kms. Drove past the rich and famous of Porto Rotundo ,Porto Cervo and Capriccioli heading towards Palau & St Teresa Pennisular.


St Teresa Pennisular
All the beaches were golden sand, crystal clear warm water and sunshine which beckond for lazing and swimming.

Headed across the north coast past Castelasardo and stayed at Platamona Lido and onto Alghero
Alghero the old city
a traditional old city and the beautiful beaches of the west coast. Alghero is a reasonable large city uilt on the rocky coast overlooking sandy beaches a tourist mecca. Ventured south for a day to the magnificient Bosa township
Bosa River
an absolute gem, the beach must be the best in Sardinia. Tiem was running out drove across th isalnd through the port town of Olbia
Heading towards Olbia

and stayed the one last night on the beautful Smeralda Coast in a luxury hotel on the beach just awesome. Headed to Golfo Aranci staying in a family run hotel before ccthing the ferry back to mainland Italy. Sardinia lives up to its reputation of beautiful beaches, sunshine and gorgeous scenery. Now in Ladispoli for three nights a coastal resort town about 45 mins by train from Roma
