Taking the ferry
September 18, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Driving to Genoa and taking the ferry with Awen caused some concerns beforehand. "How would the check in with Awen go? Would he bark all night long? Would he do his business in the cabin?”
Well, my worries were not justified at all. All went very well, Awen not only had pleasure, he was very brave and could hold his business until we had arrived in Sardinia.
The problem was more to find our way through Genoa and the GPS was no help at all. Luckily, we were early enough and even had some time for a walk in the beach near Genoa and let Awen get a first taste of the sea.Read more

Sassari - the north west
September 19, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
After getting out of the Ferry, it was time to go for a walk with Awen and let him discover his new environment. However, it wasn't easy to find a clean piece of earth...This came as a shock to us. The plastic, glass and other rubbish along the street wasn't what we had expected.
After having checked-in in our Airbnb house (a lovely house in the middle of a small orange farm), we went with Awen to a so called "dog friendly beach". Awen could enjoy the clear water and running around on the long almost deserted sand beach. Back home, we all needed a nice long nap, before heading out to enjoy a beautiful sunset at the capo caccia.Read more

Our second day on Sardinia was used to discover the places around us. A trip to the beach, a walk through some small towns and enjoying a sunset at the capo falcone. In the evening, some geckos came and visited us (and helped us to fight the quite agressiv moskitos.Read more

Wild camping on Mari Ermi beach
September 21, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Leaving the nice comfortable Airbnb house we continued our journey around the Island southwards to Oristano. First though, we visited the old town of Alghero and a little south Bosa.
Several hours later, we arrived on the white sandy beach of Mari Ermi. And, we could see for the first time some flamencos. The night in the Campster was a bee windy one. Despite the beautiful view, having sand everywhere (in the car, in the hair, in the clothes) is not really a pleasure. And so, the next morning we needed a good bath in the sea to get rid of all that sand.Read more

From the west coast to the South
September 22, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Before heading South we visited the archeological site of Tharros. After just one day of Camping, being back in another Airbnb felt like great luxury. Ok, the Airbnb house was indeed an amazing place near the beach, under some palm trees and with a beautiful veranda. A little quite oase away from people with only the noise of the waves in the distance.Read more

Getting up early, enjoy the day while it's not too hot yet and then doing a nap turned out to be a good decision. Not only were we able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise, but also having the whole beach to ourselves. What more do we want?Read more

From the South to the hills of Sardinia
September 25, 2019 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Today morning it was time again to pack up our bags and move on with our journey along the East Coast. However, first, taking pictures of a spectacular sunrise right in front of our door.
On the way to the hills, we stopped several times to visit different beaches (Costa Rei, Arbatax) and let Awen enjoy the water. In the pass we had a great view on the Gorrupo canyon. And finally, we arrived at our destination for the next 2 days. A little country house in the middle of nowhere. And this Airbnb had free homemade organic wine, olive oil, fruits and vegetables...and they had two horses in the garden.Read more

The 15min drive from our house to the second island of the Maddalena archipelago took us along some narrow streets through light forests and strange rock formations. Awen had again the chance to swim at some beautiful, isolated beaches.Read more

Today we spent the day in our village on Maddalena, mainly because I had hurt my back the evening before and wasn't able to move so much. But some little walks, snorkeling with Awen and using the drone was a nice and relaxing day.Read more
