Sardinia - Where we stayed

Most of our trip we stayed in local Agriturismo (little farms that build some apartments on their grounds to make some money) - sometimes with beautiful gardens, other times with sheep in the front yard and pretty views to the coast. They offered local food (some of it was interesting - like goat liver or goat cheese for breakfast...)

Some vehicles in the south looked very interesting and the Madonna in the garden was a must have.

Sardinia - beaches - and the winner is: Cala Domestica

Ok getting there with a 2 year old was a bit challenging - but the little hike to Cala Domestica was worth it - you come thru the little tunnel and find a hidden beach - beautiful. The water there was cold (the only spot on the whole trip - weird!)

A little south it the Pan Zucchero - a stunning few along the coastal line of the South West.

Sardinia - and some historic stops

Besides the stunning beaches Sardinia has some historic sites to offer - the Roman town Thassos at the sea, some roman temples and a lot of Nuraghes (2500 year old stone houses) and petite medieval churches...on top we had a night in Cagliari - the biggest city in the south with narrow streets, great shopping and nice restaurants. At the Costa Smeralda (where the really really rich people spend their summer vacation) we checked out the Ferrari yacht and made sure that the "Bear rock" did not fall down ;-)

Sardinia - Beaches - Beaches - Beaches

In Sardinia there are beaches for every taste - white sand, brown sand with tiny rocks, big gray rocks....with dunes or cliffs - we checked a lot of them out. With and without building sand castles.... San Teodoro itself had 12 different beaches! Getting to some of them in the Southwest of the islands was a bit adventurous - but thanks to 4wheel drive just "Fahrvergnuegen" ;-)

Sardinien - Capo Teste - the North

yes this water was very very blue - the heat exhausting (38 degrees) - but a beautiful little hike with a fresh dip in the water in the end! the only challenge - no trail markers...but hey this is Sardinia!

Summer Vacation - Sardinia - our first ferry trip

We used the ferry to get to Sardinia - it is a 10h trip from Genua. One trip we did overnight and slept perfectly in our cabin - the trip back was during the day and very fascinating for our little Ronja (there was so much to discover - the pool, the playroom, all the hallways and decks - I guess she made a few miles running over this big ship). Her favorite spot in our cabin was at the window while scraming: we are driving!
